31/**
32 * @file
33 * Declaration of a Bimodal Interval Prediction replacement policy.
34 * Has a probability of when placing new blocks, placing them as MRU.
35 *
36 * Although both LRU and LIP can be seen as specific cases of BIP
37 * where the bimodal throtle parameter are 1 and 0, respectively, we
38 * decide not to inherit from it, and do the other way around (inherit
39 * from LRU) for efficiency reasons.
40 *
41 * In the original paper they use btp = 1/32 ~= 3%.
