+ * ------------------
+ * Members of the driver ops mirror the Netlink uAPI but driver calls do not
+ * map 1:1 to user calls. Drivers need to be careful when assuming that calls
+ * disallowed at the uAPI level will never be made at the driver level.
+ * The shaper core performs automatic reparenting and cleanup, generating
+ * additional calls. Notably:
+ *  - @group calls in the driver facing API may have nodes as leaves (user is
+ *    only allowed to construct groups with queues as leaves)
+ *  - @group calls may update leaf's parent if the parent is about
+ *    to be removed (re-parenting nodes explicitly is not supported in the uAPI)
