[PATCH 0/4] average: convert users to inline implementation

[PATCH 0/4] average: convert users to inline implementation

[Johannes Berg]

Since there's very little benefit of the out-of-line implementation
(a single byte of .text in one driver as far as I've seen), convert
all drivers to the inline implementation, saving memory, and remove
the out-of-line implementation.

Perhaps the easiest would be for Dave to take all of these patches?

[PATCH 1/4] virtio_net: use DECLARE_EWMA

[Johannes Berg]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg@intel.com>

Instead of using the out-of-line EWMA calculation, use DECLARE_EWMA()
to create static inlines. On x86/64 this results in no change in code
size for me, but reduces the struct receive_queue size by the two
unsigned long values that store the parameters.

[PATCH 3/4] rt2x00: use DECLARE_EWMA

[Johannes Berg]

From: Johannes Berg <johannes.berg-ral2JQCrhuEAvxtiuMwx3w@public.gmane.org>

Instead of using the out-of-line EWMA calculation, use DECLARE_EWMA()
to create static inlines. On x86/64 this results in code that's one
byte larger (for me), but reduces struct link_ant and struct link
size by the two unsigned long values that store the parameters each.

- * The factor for scaling up and the exponential weight (or decay rate) have to

Ok, I'll applied this series to net-next, thanks.
