Don't you really only need to do this if floor has been set? If you
create the hierarchical class and don't need it, does this result in any
extra overhead? If so, I think you should do (hierarchical_class &&
bandwidth->floor).

I have to admit that I don't follow the full discussion of the details
of this, but trust that you've done some testing to verify that the
results are as desired when floor is specified, and identical to
previous code if floor isn't specified.

Huh. I thought I had remembered that bandwidth (like iptables rules)
couldn't be applied to macvtap interfaces. Is that wrong? (unrelated to
this patchset anyway, just curious).

ACK with the above questions appropriately answered.
