I wonder if there's any easy way we can get the ATM/PPPoE support enabled
at runtime.
I guess a tc option would be needed to enable ADSL (atm) numbers,
but the HTB qdisc should be able to detect PPP packets for PPPoE, right ?
at least egress on any pppX interface.

Are you using this patch just for inbound shaping on pppX, or does it still make 
sense to use it on an IMQ device, or on a LAN-side ethX device to do the equivalent 
of ingress shaping ?
