Moved, renamed, and deleted files
The original directory structure was scattered and unorganized. Changes are basically to make it look like kernel structure.

+ * DOC: Exponentially Weighted Moving Average (EWMA)
+ *
+ * These are generic functions for calculating Exponentially Weighted Moving
+ * Averages (EWMA). We keep a structure with the EWMA parameters and a scaled
+ * up internal representation of the average value to prevent rounding errors.
+ * The factor for scaling up and the exponential weight (or decay rate) have to
+ * be specified thru the init fuction. The structure should not be accessed
+ * directly but only thru the helper functions.
