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.

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.
