In linux 4.5, a new clsact qdisc type is added, which is very similar to
ingress but can also apply to egress packets in a lightweight (lockless)
way.

Also improving performance is the direct-action flag for bpf filters, in
which a program directly returns the action (drop, pass, redirect, etc.)
to take in the classifer.

Pls notice that the tcmsg internals (and, subsequently, IPRoute.tc()) are changed, but not documented yet. I plan to complete some docs this weekend.

I really hope it will help to fix the chaos in the tcmsg code.
