This was Jesper's idea originally, so maybe he can explain better; but
as I understood it, he basically wanted to expose the same information
that BQL has to eBPF. Making it possible for an eBPF program to either
(re-)implement BQL with its own custom policy, or react to HWQ pressure
in some other way, such as by load balancing to another interface.
