The closest match for an alternative would be TBF, but HTB and
HFSC also do fine. Maybe just point to the traffic schedulers in
general. I think you could also change EXPERIMENTAL to OBSOLETE
for the shaper device, the traffic schedulers are a lot more
flexible.

Ok, thanks for comments. Here it comes, please (n)ack it:

--

kconfig, correct traffic shaper

As Patrick McHardy <[email protected]> suggested, Traffic Shaper is
now obsolete and alternative to it is no longer CBQ, since its problems with
virtual devices, alter Kconfig text to reflect this -- put a link to the
traffic schedulers as a whole.

ACK from me, though I think that since it relates to traffic schedulers I think this patch should be merged through DaveM...
