Unfortunately nothing has gone in yet. Robert has a prototype interface and I *think* that he may have come around to accepting my approach. The right way to integrate QoS and multi-queue cleanly isn't 100% obvious. I think it isn't unreasonable to expect that the new interfaces will go in in time for 7.2 but 7.1 is basically impossible at this point given that the freeze will be happening in the next month.
