	I've done some in this direction , probably needs more work, and
it's poorly tested - expect b00ms ;)
	
	This adds a new qdisc for now - esfq which is a 100% clone of
original sfq.
	- You can set all sfq parameters: hash table size, queue depths,
queue limits.
	- You can choose from 3 hash types: original(classic), dst ip, src
ip.
	Things to consider: perturbation with dst and src hashes is not
good IMHO, you can try with perturb 0 if it couses trouble.

	Please, see the attached files.

	Plaing with it gives interesting results:  
	higher depth -> makes flows equal slower
	small depth  -> makes flows equal faster
	limit kills big delays when set at about 75-85% of depth.

	Needs testings and mesurements - that's why i made it
separate qdisc and not a patch over sfq, i wanted to compare both.

	Any feedback good or bad is welcome.
