Rework SCHED API to allow offloading TC-MQPRIO QoS configuration. The existing QUEUE based rate limiting throttles all queues sharing a traffic class, to the specified max rate limit value. So, if multiple queues share a traffic class, then all the queues get the aggregate specified max rate limit. So, introduce the new FLOWC based rate limiting, where multiple queues can share a traffic class with each queue getting its own individual specified max rate limit. For example, if 2 queues are bound to class 0, which is rate limited to 1 Gbps, then 2 queues using QUEUE based rate limiting, get the aggregate output of 1 Gbps only. In FLOWC based rate limiting, each queue gets its own output of max 1 Gbps each; i.e. 2 queues * 1 Gbps rate limit = 2 Gbps.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
