Here is the kernel side of the patch:
http://people.freebsd.org/~np/flow_pacing_kern.diff

The registration parameters and the throttling parameters are probably
cxgbe-centric, because that's what it was written for.  We'll need to
tidy up those structs certainly.  And I'd like to add pps constraints to
the throttling parameters (all it does is bandwidth right now).
