Now, onto the patch itself.  I think we're adding more tense
errors than we're removing.  For example:

'each' indicates singularity, yes "modules" is still
plural.  I would change it instead to:

	All the real intelligent work is done inside
	the qdisc modules.

This one looks fine.

Looks fine, we're missing an articles here.
So maybe the final version of this verse is:

	For complicated disciplines with multiple queues,
	q->q is not a real packet queue whereas q->q.qlen
	must be valid.

The rest looks fine.
