I do pretty strongly think count - 1 is the rightest thing still. I
did come up with two
other ideas for the resumption phase that might work.

1) schedule the next drop based on count, THEN do a count - 2 or
count/2 to be scheduled for the drop phase afterwards

2) measure the amount of time since the last entrance to the
resumption phase and resume with count at some level slightly above
that.

probably even more useful than just hacking around:

A) measure all the time spent in all the phases relative to the
induced workloads.

we had code like that in the original versions of codel.

Patches gladly accepted (tc-adv now does parse the new keywords I
think), and we really, really, really do need to confirm that the atm
code works in every circumstance.
