Point was to decay faster than 'loop detection' (-2) but slower
than kicking (+5) to keep the score decaying even if there is
one 'loop detection' per batch.

The criticism about pipe control (patch 1/4) is warranted as it just
happens to help now when the synchronization happens on ring, and thus
only helps with batches that follow this pattern wrt pipe control.

I will post a patch that tries to achieve more generic way
by inspecting subunit states if head seems to be stuck, so
that substitutes 1/4. And also makes 4/4 even more moot.

There is not much to salvage in this series so please ignore.

Thanks,
