Taking a look at the link couple differences exist. First the patch
linked does a 'netif_xmit_frozen_or_drv_stopped(txq)' check but this
really shouldn't be needed it is handled by the sch_direct_xmit()
logic in ./net/sched

Also in this patch I made it way more conservative on when to back
off then my original patch and now its closer to the one linked except
I also back off with return code NET_XMIT_CN.

As for clones what is the concern exactly? We allow them through the
ingress pktgen mode that can hit classifiers and I don't see any issues
testing with them.
