Current versions of iproute2 know about pfifo_fast.

pfifo_fast is only suitable as a baseline with no other qdisc's
involved. It can only sit directly on the device (at the bottom).
It shouldn't be that much faster than doing it with prio and fifo for
most things. The additional overhead of prio and fifo are mostly because
they are in separate modules and that adds some memory locality penalty.
