Nothing you gotta worry about. The control queue is only there in
order to get higher priority for control packets than for data
packets, in an attempt to speedup control negotiations for interfaces
that are `dial on demand' (i. e., have LINK1 set). This is opaque to
the `customer' of sppp.

Have a look at the current `customers' for sppp, which are
sys/i4b/driver/i4b_sppp.c (for a driver that uses dialup connections),
and sys/i386/isa/if_{ar,cx,sr}.c for drivers that use hardware links
(like HDLC lines) without dialling.

See above.
