With this commit it is possible to add priority to sent or received
network packets. So user is able to send or receive higher priority
packets faster than lower level packets.
The traffic class support is activated by CONFIG_NET_TC_COUNT option.
The TC support uses work queues to separate the traffic. The
priority of the work queue thread specifies the ordering of the
network traffic. Each work queue thread handles traffic to one specific
work queue. Note that you should not enable traffic classes unless
you really need them by your application. Each TC thread needs
stack so this feature requires more memory.
It is possible to disable transmit traffic class support and keep the
receive traffic class support, or vice versa. If both RX and TX traffic
classes are enabled, then both will use the same number of queues
defined by CONFIG_NET_TC_COUNT option.
