When adding optional new features to Qdisc offloads, existing drivers
must reject the new configuration until they are coded up to act on it.
Since modifying all drivers in lockstep with the changes in the Qdisc
can create problems of its own, it would be nice if there existed an
automatic opt-in mechanism for offloading optional features.
Jakub proposes that we multiplex one more kind of call through
ndo_setup_tc(): one where the driver populates a Qdisc-specific
capability structure.
First user will be taprio in further changes. Here we are introducing
the definitions for the base functionality.
