/* 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 get the maxmum range, we multiply by this factor (ie. you get N
   credits per jiffy).  We want to allow a rate as low as 1 per day
   (slowest userspace tool allows), which means
   CREDITS_PER_JIFFY*HZ*60*60*24 < 2^32. ie. */
