I see overhead is unsigned short. For me using pppoa/vc mux my overhead 
is IP + 10. I am shaping on eth so skb->len is IP+14 hence I need a 
negative overhead.

Recently built a 2.6.25-rc7 and noticed the cell_align has been added 
and the tables jigged. I am (ab)using this at -5 now. Handy that I only 
need to patch TC rather than kernel and I guess I could use other TCs if 
I needed to shape other not atm ifs.

Russel Stuart's patches handled this case IIRC, has it been lost or have 
I missed something (as usual)?
