+ * When deciding which segment to use next, calculate the resistance
+ * of each segment and pick the lowest.  Segments try to resist usage
+ * if
+ * o they are full,
+ * o they have a high erase count or
+ * o they have recently been written.
+ *
+ * Full segments should not get reused, as there is little space to
+ * gain from them.  Segments with high erase count should be left
+ * aside as they can wear out sooner than others.  Freshly-written
+ * segments contain many blocks that will get obsoleted fairly soon,
+ * so it helps to wait a little before reusing them.
+ *
+ * Total resistance is expressed in erase counts.  Formula is:
+ *
+ * R = EC + K1*F + K2*e^(-t/theta)
+ *
+ * R:	Resistance
+ * EC:	Erase count
+ * K1:	Constant, 10,000 might be a good value
+ * K2:	Constant,  1,000 might be a good value
+ * F:	Segment fill level
+ * t:	Time since segment was written to (in number of segments written)
+ * theta: Time constant.  Total number of segments might be a good value
+ *
+ * Since the kernel is not allowed to use floating point, the function
+ * decay() is used to approximate exponential decay in fixed point.
