It would seem altq wants a bandwidth declaration. However, from man 5
pf.conf:
If bandwidth is not specified, the interface bandwidth is used.
In any event, all my priq queues appear to simply be prioritized and the
overall outbound bandwidth of all queues, collectively, never exceeds
the altq bandwidth keyword--and this works well for me with the
exception of the annoying PR 4312.
