Subject[PATCH] Add generic exponentially weighted moving average function
From
Date
This adds a generic exponentially weighted moving average function. This
implementation makes use of a structure which keeps a scaled up internal
representation to reduce rounding errors.

The idea for this implementation comes from the rt2x00 driver (rt2x00link.c)
and i would like to use it in several places in the mac80211 and ath5k code.

Is this the right place to add it? Who to CC:?
