One reason more to move it to an optional ebtables target. Or leave it
all to prio + u32. But I guess a CLASSIFY target similar to iptables
could also be useful otherwise.

Are there any changes required besides ip_tos2prio ? More importantly,
it there a different meaningful mapping to priorities we can apply ?
