LARTC - Jun 2004 - [PATCH] (4/4) add loss option to network delay scheduler

This enhances the network simulation scheduler to do simple random loss.

The loss parameter is a simple 32 bit value such that 0 means no loss, and
0xffffffff is always drop.  I have a new version of the tc command which takes
care of conversion from percent to this value.

Same patch for 2.4 and 2.6

Applied.  But the 2.4.x side I had to apply by hand because in 2.4.x''s
copy if pkt_sched.h there is no empty line before the final #endif
and thus patch rejected it.
