I was wondering if we also could redefine the pfifo default, used for
example in HTB classes.

ie calls to qdisc_create_dflt( ... &pfifo_qdisc_ops )

/proc/sys/net/core/default_qdisc would 'define' the default pfifo_fast,

/proc/sys/net/core/default_pfifo_qdisc would 'define' the default pfifo,

Or something like that...
