kernel: add codel and fq_codel to generic 3.3 patch set (based on patch by Dave Täht)
Codel is a new AQM algorithm and RED replacement designed by Kathie Nichols and Van Jacobson, and published in ACM queue: http://queue.acm.org/detail.cfm?id=2209336 Codel stands for "Controlled Delay", and needs no knobs in the general case, twiddled, for optimum results. It aims for 5ms of delay, at most, when in use. Additionally, fq_codel (by eric dumazet) builds on codel to provide fair queuing superior to what could be had with SFQ, and drop behavior saner than RED, BLUE, or choke. These patches are backported from net-next and are known to work on Linux 3.3.4 and later. Includes updates to codel for better portability and speed git-svn-id: svn://svn.openwrt.org/openwrt/trunk@31756 3c298f89-4303-0410-b956-a3cf2f4a3e73

+Subject: [PATCH 46/50] codel: use u16 field instead of 31bits for
+ rec_inv_sqrt
+
+David pointed out gcc might generate poor code with 31bit fields.
+
+Using u16 is more than enough and permits a better code output.
+
+Also make the code intent more readable using constants, fixed point arithmetic
+not being trivial for everybody.
