Sure, here it is. We might need a similar patch to get a correct pps value
too, since we currently are limited to ~ 2^21 packets per second.

[PATCH] pkt_sched: gen_estimator: use 64 bit intermediate counters for bps

gen_estimator can overflow bps (bytes per second) with Gb links, while
it was designed with a u32 API, with a theorical limit of 34360Mbit (2^32 bytes)

Using 64 bit intermediate avbps/brate counters can allow us to reach this
theorical limit.
