Subject: [PATCH v7 0/3] Generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA)

This series adds a generic exponentially weighted moving average (EWMA) library
function and uses it from ath5k and mac80211. There are more places within
mac80211 and other wireless drivers which could benefit from this function,
which I'm going to update later and I hope this function can be useful in many
places all over the kernel. 

As it has been discussed on LKML, the preferred way of merging this is thru
wireless-testing, since this is where the first callers will be
(http://marc.info/?l=linux-kernel&m=128949956117559&w=2).

Thanks,
Bruno
