Hi Jean,

thanks for the improvement - yeah, soon after sending this quick hack
I've realized there was a thinko in the bits-handling :-(
Because this wouldn't hurt people testing with their latency problems
I decided to wait and see, whether it would help at all.

No complains - applies (2.4.14, with few lines offset for most hunks) and
compiles fine, nothing broken for me and irlap/qos seems to do the right
thing with the min_tx_turn_time. Only tested with mtt=1000 peer device
- I have no such mtt=0 guy.

I would suggest to simply stay with the semantincs of the existing FAST_RR
config option but just make it enabled by default. Which would still mean
you have to say "No" in order to *disable* stuff, IMHO?
"no need to say Yes to enable" != "Yes to disable"

Well, people saying "Yes" or "No" shouldn't get confused - people blindly
hitting the spacebar to toggle the default might get surprized...

I think just changing the default is fine - if it would revert the meaning
like "Yes to disable FAST_RR", I'd consider renaming the thing to prevent
confusion.

I believe the Configure.help entry should change from "if unsure, say N"
to "if unsure, say Y" as well.
