A classsifier classifies packets into classes based on packet filter
rules.  altq/bpf/ipfw/ipf/pf have different mechanims to do a similar
job.

One possibility is to replace the current ALTQ classifier by an
existing one, and another possibility is to design a framework to use
different classifers (just like what altq does for queueing
disciplines).

I don't have one at this moment.
