IIRC dummynet stores the pipe bandwidth in bits per seconds in a 32 bit
integer. This limits dummynet to ca. 4.2Gb/s. I don't know if this
representation is exported as part of a KBI. If it is changing it to a
64 bit integer would break the KBI and will probably require someone to
push for the change in 11-CURRENT and a set of compatible APIs for
10-STABLE and maybe even 9-STABLE.
