Some of us are dealing with huge HTB hierarchies, so adding default fifo
in the dump will add more data pumped from the kernel.
BwE [1] for instance dumps qdisc/classes every 5 seconds.
I guess we'll need to not pull this patch in our kernels.
This reminds me of an HTB patch to avoid dumping rate estimates for HTB.
I will send it today.
