Will do.

AFAICT, the priomap maps skb->priority to band. So the translation is as
follows:

Type of Service octet, which is fed to:
        skb->priority = rt_tos2priority(iph->tos);


To extract the four TOS bits, and to translate to prio:
static inline char rt_tos2priority(u8 tos)
{
        return ip_tos2prio[IPTOS_TOS(tos)>>1];
}

__u8 ip_tos2prio[16] = {

        ECN_OR_COST(FILLER),
        TC_PRIO_BESTEFFORT,
        ECN_OR_COST(BESTEFFORT),

Of course, but only CBQ (& HTB, by the way) can extract a classid directly
from it, without a priomap. Devik is planning to learn HTB to extract a
classid directly from the fwmark, to skip a layer of indirection.
