This comments out a problematic section comprising a half-finished algorithm:

 - The variable `ccid2hctx_ackloss' is never initialised to a value different from 0 and
   hence in fact is a read-only constant.
 - The `arsent' variable counts packets other than Acks (it is incremented for every packet),
   and there is no test for Ack Loss.
 - The concept of counting Acks as such leads to a complex calculation, and the calculation
   at the moment is inconsistent with this concept.
   The problem is that the number of Acks - rather than the number of windows - is counted,
   which leads to a complex (cubic/quadratic) expression - this is not even implemented.

In its current state, the commented-out algorithm interfers with normal processing by
changing Ack Ratio incorrectly, and at the wrong times.

A new algorithm is necessary, which will not necessarily use the same variables as used by
the unfinished one; hence the old variables have been removed.

This removes a test for `val < 1' which would only have been triggered
when val < 0, due to a preceding test for 0.  Fixed by using an
unsigned type for cwnd (as in TCP) instead.

These are code optimizations which are relevant when dealing with large
windows.  They are not coded the way I would like to, but they do the job for
the short-term.  This patch should be more neat.

Commiter note: Changed the seqno comparisions to use {after,before}48 to handle
               wrapping.

When multiple losses occur in one RTT, the window should be halved
only once [a single "congestion event"].  This is now implemented,
although not perfectly.  Slightly changed the interface for changing
the cwnd: pass hctx instead of dp.  This is required in order to allow
for change_cwnd to be called from _init().

Allocate more sequence state on demand.  Each time a packet is sent
out by CCID2, a record of it needs to be kept.  This list of records
grows proportionally to cwnd.  Previously, the length of this list was
hardcored and therefore the cwnd could only grow to this value (of
128).  Now, records are allocated on demand as necessary---cwnd may
grow as it wishes.  The exceptional case of when memory is not
available is not handled gracefully.  Perhaps, cwnd should be capped
at that point.

Initialize the slow-start threshold to infinity.  This way, upon connection
initiation, slow-start will be exited only upon a packet loss.  This patch will
allow connections to quickly gain speed.

1. No need for ->ccid_init nor ->ccid_exit, this is what module_{init,exit}
   does and anynways neither ccid2 nor ccid3 were using it.

2. Rename struct ccid to struct ccid_operations and introduce struct ccid
   with a pointer to ccid_operations and rigth after it the rx or tx
   private state.

3. Remove the pointer to the state of the half connections from struct
   dccp_sock, now its derived thru ccid_priv() from the ccid pointer.

Now we also can implement the setsockopt for changing the CCID easily as
no ccid init routines can affect struct dccp_sock in any way that prevents
other CCIDs from working if a CCID switch operation is asked by apps.

Original work by Andrea Bittau, Arnaldo Melo cleaned up and fixed several
issues on the merge process.

For now CCID2 was turned the default for all SOCK_DCCP connections, but this
will be remedied soon with the merge of the feature negotiation code.
