You can write a tc filter in BPF, which allows you to do arbitrary
matching on packet data... So as long as the packets go through the
qdisc, the answer would be yes :)

CAKE will only react to the priority field if the upper 16 bits match
the major number of the qdisc; so anything that sets priority has to
know about the qdisc configuration for it to stick...
