/* Rusty: This is my (non-mathematically-inclined) understanding of
   this algorithm.  The `average rate' in jiffies becomes your initial
   amount of credit `credit' and the most credit you can ever have
   `credit_cap'.  The `peak rate' becomes the cost of passing the
   test, `cost'.

   `prev' tracks the last packet hit: you gain one credit per jiffy.
   If you get credit balance more than this, the extra credit is
   discarded.  Every time the match passes, you lose `cost' credits;
   if you don't have that many, the test fails.

   See Alexey's formal explanation in net/sched/sch_tbf.c.

   To avoid underflow, we multiply by 128 (ie. you get 128 credits per
   jiffy).  Hence a cost of 2^32-1, means one pass per 32768 seconds
   at 1024HZ (or one every 9 hours).  A cost of 1 means 12800 passes
   per second at 100HZ.  */
