How do I ALTQ hostap interface?

Looking on the freebsd-net list it seems like a "we don't know how to
hack altq to work with multiqueues" problem, but supposedly it's been
solved with em(4) (since it works fine with altq) , (but not
necessarily with igb)?

OpenBSD is of course no longer useful here since they have removed ALTQ.

Perhaps it's time to revisit Dummynet/IPFW for shaping (it was just
nice having an easily unified NAT and shaping ruleset).
