The menu governor uses coefficients as one method of actual idle period length estimation. The coefficients are, as detailed below, multipliers giving expected idle period length from time until next timer expiry. The multipliers are supposed to have domain of (0..1]. The coefficients are fractions where only the numerators are stored and denominators are a shared constant RESOLUTION*DECAY. Since the value of the coefficient should always be greater than 0 and less than or equal to 1, the numerator must have a value greater than 0 and less than or equal to RESOLUTION*DECAY. If the coefficients are updated with measured idle durations exceeding timer length, the multiplier may reach values exceeding unity (i.e. the stored numerator exceeds RESOLUTION*DECAY). This patch ensures that the multipliers are updated with durations capped to timer length.
