[PATCH] PKT_SCHED: Make rate estimator work for all platforms

To: "David S. Miller" <davem@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>
Subject: [PATCH] PKT_SCHED: Make rate estimator work for all platforms
From: Thomas Graf <tgraf@xxxxxxx>
Date: Mon, 4 Oct 2004 23:11:52 +0200
Cc: Jamal Hadi Salim <hadi@xxxxxxxxxx>, netdev@xxxxxxxxxxx
Sender: netdev-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxx
Fixes the existing rate estimator to compile cleanly on all platforms
and avoids carrying on the variance on platforms with HZ%4 != 0.

Patch also applies to 2.4 with some fuzz.
