Now that I had a closer look at implementing this functionality I have a few 
questions:
1. Where should information about available qpolicies and their parametrs be 
exported? Would /proc/net/dccp/qpolicies/ be a good choice?
2. I guess we should have at least one file per qpolicy with parameters listed 
inside. Like that:
/proc/.../qpolicies/simple: <empty>
/proc/.../qpolicies/prio: 1 (DCCP_SCM_PRIORITY) 2 (DCCP_SCM_TIMEOUT)
But we could also have qpolicy represented by directory and parameters by 
files:
/proc/.../qpolicies/simple/
/proc/.../qpolicies/prio/
/proc/.../qpolicies/prio/priority: <empty>
/proc/.../qpolicies/prio/timeout: <empty>
Which layout do you find better?
