The "break-even" point for the two formulas is L==8, which is also
what the code actually implements. [Incidentally, at that point one
has Y=0.008856, not 0.08856].

Moreover, all the sources I can find say the linear factor is 903.3
rather than 902.3, which makes sense since then the formulas agree at
L==8, both yielding the 0.008856 figure to four significant digits.

Hi Rasmus

Has something gone wrong with the mail out for this patch set. I didn't
get a covering letter or patch 5/5?


Daniel.

Sorry about that. I should have included a cover letter so you'd know
that patch 5 wasn't directly related to the other patches.

I was removing the now unused int_pow() function, but Andy has told me
there are new users in -next, so it's moot. Only the first four patches
are relevant.

Thanks,
Rasmus

Indeed. Interestingly the following doc (with a high search rank in
Google) has exactly this inconsistency and uses different values at
different times:
