The interesting new thing here is AQL, the Airtime Queue Limit

patchset from Kan Yan (Google) and Toke Høiland-Jørgensen (Redhat).
 The effect is intended to eventually be similar to BQL, but byte
 queue limits are not useful in wifi where the actual throughput can
 vary by around 4 orders of magnitude. There are more details in the
 patches themselves.
