Subject: [RFC] sched: CHOKe packet scheduler (v0.2)

This implements the CHOKe packet scheduler based on the existing
Linux RED scheduler based on the algorithm described in the paper.

The core idea is:
  For every packet arrival:
  	Calculate Qave
	if (Qave < minth) 
	     Queue the new packet
	else 
	     Select randomly a packet from the queue 
	     if (both packets from same flow)
	     then Drop both the packets
	     else if (Qave > maxth)
	          Drop packet
	     else
	       	  Admit packet with probability p (same as RED)

New in this version:
	- use skb hash values for flow matching
	- reciprocal_divide optimization
	- optional ECN support (same as RED)

+/*	CHOKe stateless AQM for fair bandwidth allocation
+        =================================================
+
+   CHOKe (CHOose and Keep for responsive flows, CHOose and Kill for
+   unresponsive flows) is a variant of RED that penalizes misbehaving flows but
+   maintains no flow state. The difference from RED is an additional step
+   during the enqueuing process. If average queue size is over the
+   low threshold (qmin), a packet is chosen at random from the queue.
+   If both the new and chosen packet are from the same flow, both
+   are dropped. Unlike RED, CHOKe is not a "classful" qdisc because it
+   needs to access packets in queue randomly.
