 * HTCP_CALC_ALPHA performs a fixed point math calculation to determine the
 * value of alpha, based on the function defined in the HTCP spec.
 *
 * i.e. 1 + 10(delta - delta_l) + ((delta - delta_l) / 2) ^ 2
 *
 * "diff" is passed in to the macro as "delta - delta_l" and is expected to be
 * in units of ticks.
 *
 * The joyousnous of fixed point maths means our function implementation looks a
 * little funky...
 *
 * In order to maintain some precision in the calculations, a fixed point shift
 * HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT is used to ensure the integer divisions don't
 * truncate the results too badly.
 *
 * The "16" value is the "1" term in the alpha function shifted up by
 * HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT
 *
 * The "160" value is the "10" multiplier in the alpha function multiplied by
 * 2^HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT
 *
 * Specifying these as constants reduces the computations required. After
 * up-shifting all the terms in the function and performing the required
 * calculations, we down-shift the final result by HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT to
 * ensure it is back in the correct range.
 *
 * The "hz" terms are required as kernels can be configured to run with
 * different tick timers, which we have to adjust for in the alpha calculation
 * (which originally was defined in terms of seconds).
 *
 * We also have to be careful to constrain the value of diff such that it won't
 * overflow whilst performing the calculation. The middle term i.e. (160 * diff)
 * / hz is the limiting factor in the calculation. We must constrain diff to be
 * less than the max size of an int divided by the constant 160 figure
 * i.e. diff < INT_MAX / 160
 *
 * NB: Changing HTCP_ALPHA_INC_SHIFT will require you to MANUALLY update the
 * constants used in this function!
