I've thought about it. There is no easy single entrypoint to do this. Each
qdisc would have its own debugging statements. The good news is that this is
easy to add, just insert 'printk' statements in relevant places.

Kernel policy however is that no 'explanatory' statements are allowed in the
mainline kernel, just as there is no kernel debugger in the mainline kernel.

I'm not sure, but perhaps IBM 'dprobes' might be suited for this work.
