90  * HTCP_CALC_ALPHA performs a fixed point math calculation to determine the
91  * value of alpha, based on the function defined in the HTCP spec.
92  *
93  * i.e. 1 + 10(delta - delta_l) + ((delta - delta_l) / 2) ^ 2
94  *
95  * "diff" is passed in to the macro as "delta - delta_l" and is expected to be
96  * in units of ticks.
97  *
98  * The joyousnous of fixed point maths means our function implementation looks a
99  * little funky...
100  *
101  * In order to maintain some precision in the calculations, a fixed point shift
102  * HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT is used to ensure the integer divisions don't
103  * truncate the results too badly.
104  *
105  * The "16" value is the "1" term in the alpha function shifted up by
106  * HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT
107  *
108  * The "160" value is the "10" multiplier in the alpha function multiplied by
109  * 2^HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT
110  *
111  * Specifying these as constants reduces the computations required. After
112  * up-shifting all the terms in the function and performing the required
113  * calculations, we down-shift the final result by HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT to
114  * ensure it is back in the correct range.
115  *
116  * The "hz" terms are required as kernels can be configured to run with
117  * different tick timers, which we have to adjust for in the alpha calculation
118  * (which originally was defined in terms of seconds).
119  *
120  * We also have to be careful to constrain the value of diff such that it won't
121  * overflow whilst performing the calculation. The middle term i.e. (160 * diff)
122  * / hz is the limiting factor in the calculation. We must constrain diff to be
123  * less than the max size of an int divided by the constant 160 figure
124  * i.e. diff < INT_MAX / 160
125  *
126  * NB: Changing HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT will require you to MANUALLY update the
127  * constants used in this function!
