+The loss of a bit of extra precision does not hurt the calculation, 12

+Subject: [PATCH] mac80211: minstrel: store probability variance instead of
+ standard deviation
+
+This avoids the costly int_sqrt calls in the statistics update and moves
+it to the debugfs code instead.
+This also fixes an overflow in the previous standard deviation
+calculation.
