To allow configuring user-defined actions as a result of inner workings of
a qdisc, a concept of qevents was recently introduced to the kernel.
Qevents are attach points for TC blocks, where filters can be put that are
executed as the packet hits well-defined points in the qdisc algorithms.
The attached blocks can be shared, in a manner similar to clsact ingress
and egress blocks, arbitrary classifiers with arbitrary actions can be put
on them, etc.

For example:

# tc qdisc add dev eth0 root handle 1: \
	red limit 500K avpkt 1K qevent early_drop block 10
# tc filter add block 10 \
	matchall action mirred egress mirror dev eth1

This patch set introduces the corresponding iproute2 support. Patch #1 adds
the new netlink attribute enumerators. Patch #2 adds a set of helpers to
implement qevents, and #3 adds a generic documentation to tc.8. Patch #4
then adds two new qevents to the RED qdisc: mark and early_drop.

Changes from v1 to v2:
- Patch #3:
    - s/early/early_drop/ in the example.

Changes from RFC to v1:
- Rename "tail" qevent to "tail_drop".
- Adapt to the new 100-column standard.
- Add a selftest
