+Network priority cgroup
+-------------------------
+
+The Network priority cgroup provides an interface to allow an administrator to
+dynamically set the priority of network traffic generated by various
+applications
+
+Nominally, an application would set the priority of its traffic via the
+SO_PRIORITY socket option.  This however, is not always possible because:
+
+1) The application may not have been coded to set this value
+2) The priority of application traffic is often a site-specific administrative
+   decision rather than an application defined one.
+
+This cgroup allows an administrator to assign a process to a group which defines
+the priority of egress traffic on a given interface. Network priority groups can
+be created by first mounting the cgroup filesystem.
+
+# mount -t cgroup -onet_prio none /sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio
+
+With the above step, the initial group acting as the parent accounting group
+becomes visible at '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio'.  This group includes all tasks in
+the system. '/sys/fs/cgroup/net_prio/tasks' lists the tasks in this cgroup.
+
+Each net_prio cgroup contains two files that are subsystem specific
+
+net_prio.prioidx
+This file is read-only, and is simply informative.  It contains a unique integer
+value that the kernel uses as an internal representation of this cgroup.
+
+net_prio.ifpriomap
+This file contains a map of the priorities assigned to traffic originating from
+processes in this group and egressing the system on various interfaces. It
+contains a list of tuples in the form <ifname priority>.  Contents of this file
+can be modified by echoing a string into the file using the same tuple format.
+for example:
+
+echo "eth0 5" > /sys/fs/cgroups/net_prio/iscsi/net_prio.ifpriomap
+
+This command would force any traffic originating from processes belonging to the
+iscsi net_prio cgroup and egressing on interface eth0 to have the priority of
+said traffic set to the value 5. The parent accounting group also has a
+writeable 'net_prio.ifpriomap' file that can be used to set a system default
+priority.
+
+Priorities are set immediately prior to queueing a frame to the device
+queueing discipline (qdisc) so priorities will be assigned prior to the hardware
+queue selection being made.
+
+One usage for the net_prio cgroup is with mqprio qdisc allowing application
+traffic to be steered to hardware/driver based traffic classes. These mappings
+can then be managed by administrators or other networking protocols such as
+DCBX.

-WARNING! The current 10 bit address support is EXPERIMENTAL. There are

+The current 10 bit address support is minimal. It should work, however

+  support for example), some don't because nobody bothered adding the
+  code (or it's there but not working properly.) Software implementation
+  (i2c-algo-bit) is known to work.
+* Some optional features do not support 10-bit addresses. This is the
+  case of automatic detection and instantiation of devices by their,
+  drivers, for example.
+* Many user-space packages (for example i2c-tools) lack support for
+  10-bit addresses.
+
+Note that 10-bit address devices are still pretty rare, so the limitations
