I agree that for things which concept comes from TFRC and are used in
one of the TFRC based DCCP CCIDs the best possible namespace is tfrc_.
If not we'll have to rename everything again when CCID5 comes if it is
also based on TFRC 8-)

And after all, even before ccid4 appeared on the radar I created
dccp_tfrc_lib, include/linux/tfrc.h, etc exactly for sharing code with
potentially new CCIDs that were based on TFRC.
