Yep, that was something I was considering too. If Stephen agrees I'll
change that in the next version.
BTW, you're referring to the second version of this patch, but things
have changed a bit: Stephen recommended to only modify the
->determine_rate() prototype and pass a structure instead of a list of
arguments.
Here is the last version of this series [1].
