 * Historical Service Time
 *
 *  Keeps a time-weighted exponential moving average of the historical
 *  service time. Estimates future service time based on the historical
 *  service time and the number of outstanding requests.
 *
 *  Marks paths stale if they have not finished within hst *
 *  num_paths. If a path is stale and unused, we will send a single
 *  request to probe in case the path has improved. This situation
 *  generally arises if the path is so much worse than others that it
 *  will never have the best estimated service time, or if the entire
 *  multipath device is unused. If a path is stale and in use, limit the
 *  number of requests it can receive with the assumption that the path
 *  has become degraded.
 *
 *  To avoid repeatedly calculating exponents for time weighting, times
 *  are split into HST_WEIGHT_COUNT buckets each (1 >> HST_BUCKET_SHIFT)
 *  ns, and the weighting is pre-calculated.
