+/**
+ * irqs_update - update the irq timing statistics with a new timestamp
+ *
+ * @irqs: an irqt_stat struct pointer
+ * @ts: the new timestamp
+ *
+ * The statistics are computed online, in other words, the code is
+ * designed to compute the statistics on a stream of values rather
+ * than doing multiple passes on the values to compute the average,
+ * then the variance. The integer division introduces a loss of
+ * precision but with an acceptable error margin regarding the results
+ * we would have with the double floating precision: we are dealing
+ * with nanosec, so big numbers, consequently the mantisse is
+ * negligeable, especially when converting the time in usec
+ * afterwards.
+ *
+ * The computation happens at idle time. When the CPU is not idle, the
+ * interrupts' timestamps are stored in the circular buffer, when the
+ * CPU goes idle and this routine is called, all the buffer's values
+ * are injected in the statistical model continuying to extend the
+ * statistics from the previous busy-idle cycle.
+ *
+ * The observations showed a device will trigger a burst of periodic
+ * interrupts followed by one or two peaks of longer time, for
+ * instance when a SD card device flushes its cache, then the periodic
+ * intervals occur again. A one second inactivity period resets the
+ * stats, that gives us the certitude the statistical values won't
+ * exceed 1x10^9, thus the computation won't overflow.
+ *
+ * Basically, the purpose of the algorithm is to watch the periodic
+ * interrupts and eliminate the peaks.
+ *
+ * An interrupt is considered periodically stable if the interval of
+ * its occurences follow the normal distribution, thus the values
+ * comply with:
+ *
+ * avg - 3 x stddev < value < avg + 3 x stddev
+ *
+ * Which can be simplified to:
+ *
+ * -3 x stddev < value - avg < 3 x stddev
+ *
+ * abs(value - avg) < 3 x stddev
+ *
+ * In order to save a costly square root computation, we use the
+ * variance. For the record, stddev = sqrt(variance). The equation
+ * above becomes:
+ *
+ * abs(value - avg) < 3 x sqrt(variance)
+ *
+ * And finally we square it:
+ *
+ * (value - avg) ^ 2 < (3 x sqrt(variance)) ^ 2
+ *
+ * (value - avg) x (value - avg) < 9 x variance
+ *
+ * Statistically speaking, any values out of this interval is
+ * considered as an anomaly and is discarded. However, a normal
+ * distribution appears when the number of samples is 30 (it is the
+ * rule of thumb in statistics, cf. "30 samples" on Internet). When
+ * there are three consecutive anomalies, the statistics are resetted.
