There are also some Linux-specific bits in dkp-qos.c.  I haven't looked
at that code carefully yet, though.  What do those two latency /dev

I took a stab at this in the FreeBSD backend.  I essentially made the
dkp-daemon.c methods wrappers around backend methods.  It sounds like
you're going to go a slightly different route, though.
