ULP section of the policy file doesn't have separate qos-matching-rule
and separate qos-level. Each line in this section internally generates
matching rule, and links it to one of the pre-generated simple qos levels
that has only SL.
Do I want to explain it to the user? No. That's the whole point of the ULP
section - the user is not aware of the full policy file syntax and semantics.

However, the user does know that OSM is enforcing qos according to path queries,
and the single message that I added shows *why* certain ulp/application got
certain SL. The patch that I've suggested help the user to understand *what*
matching rule was matched, but not *why*.
