tcp: add NV congestion control
TCP-NV (New Vegas) is a major update to TCP-Vegas. An earlier version of NV was presented at 2010's LPC. It is a delayed based congestion avoidance for the data center. This version has been tested within a 10G rack where the HW RTTs are 20-50us and with 1 to 400 flows. A description of TCP-NV, including implementation details as well as experimental results, can be found at: http://www.brakmo.org/networking/tcp-nv/TCPNV.html Signed-off-by: Lawrence Brakmo <brakmo@fb.com> Signed-off-by: David S.

+ TCP NV is a follow up to TCP Vegas. It has been modified to deal with
+ 10G networks, measurement noise introduced by LRO, GRO and interrupt
+ coalescence. In addition, it will decrease its cwnd multiplicatively
+ instead of linearly.
+
+ Note that in general congestion avoidance (cwnd decreased when # packets
+ queued grows) cannot coexist with congestion control (cwnd decreased only
+ when there is packet loss) due to fairness issues. One scenario when they
+ can coexist safely is when the CA flows have RTTs << CC flows RTTs.
