Subject: [PATCH RFC v2] lib: Proportions with flexible period

Implement code computing proportions of events of different type (like code in
lib/proportions.c) but allowing periods to have different lengths. This allows
us to have aging periods of fixed wallclock time which gives better proportion
estimates given the hugely varying throughput of different devices - previous
measuring of aging period by number of events has the problem that a reasonable
period length for a system with low-end USB stick is not a reasonable period
length for a system with high-end storage array resulting either in too slow
proportion updates or too fluctuating proportion updates.

+ *  Floating proportions with flexible aging period

+ *   Copyright (C) 2011, SUSE, Jan Kara <jack@...e.cz>
+ *
+ * The goal of this code is: Given different types of event, measure proportion
+ * of each type of event over time. The proportions are measured with
+ * exponentially decaying history to give smooth transitions. A formula
+ * expressing proportion of event of type 'j' is:
+ *
+ *   p_{j} = (\Sum_{i>=0} x_{i,j}/2^{i+1})/(\Sum_{i>=0} x_i/2^{i+1})
+ *
+ * Where x_{i,j} is j's number of events in i-th last time period and x_i is
+ * total number of events in i-th last time period.
+ *
+ * Note that p_{j}'s are normalised, i.e.
+ *
+ *   \Sum_{j} p_{j} = 1,
+ *
+ * This formula can be straightforwardly computed by maintaing denominator
+ * (let's call it 'd') and for each event type its numerator (let's call it
+ * 'n_j'). When an event of type 'j' happens, we simply need to do:
+ *   n_j++; d++;
+ *
+ * When a new period is declared, we could do:
+ *   d /= 2
+ *   for each j
+ *     n_j /= 2
+ *
+ * To avoid iteration over all event types, we instead shift numerator of event
+ * j lazily when someone asks for a proportion of event j or when event j
+ * occurs. This can bit trivially implemented by remembering last period in
+ * which something happened with proportion of type j.
