[PKT_SCHED]: RED: Use new generic red interface
Simplifies code a lot by separating the red algorithm and the queueing logic. We now differentiate between probability marks and forced marks but sum them together again to not break backwards compatibility.

46/* Random Early Detection (RED) algorithm. 47/* Parameters, settable by user:
47 =======================================
48
49 Source: Sally Floyd and Van Jacobson, "Random Early Detection Gateways
50 for Congestion Avoidance", 1993, IEEE/ACM Transactions on Networking.
51
52 This file codes a "divisionless" version of RED algorithm
53 as written down in Fig.17 of the paper.
54
55Short description.
56------------------
57
58 When a new packet arrives we calculate the average queue length:
59
60 avg = (1-W)*avg + W*current_queue_len,
61
62 W is the filter time constant (chosen as 2^(-Wlog)), it controls
63 the inertia of the algorithm. To allow larger bursts, W should be
64 decreased.
65
66 if (avg > th_max) -> packet marked (dropped).
67 if (avg < th_min) -> packet passes.
68 if (th_min < avg < th_max) we calculate probability:
69
70 Pb = max_P * (avg - th_min)/(th_max-th_min)
71
72 and mark (drop) packet with this probability.
73 Pb changes from 0 (at avg==th_min) to max_P (avg==th_max).
74 max_P should be small (not 1), usually 0.01..0.02 is good value.
75
76 max_P is chosen as a number, so that max_P/(th_max-th_min)
77 is a negative power of two in order arithmetics to contain
78 only shifts.
