This patch is against the very latest tree by acme-2.6.20

[DCCP]: Use higher RTO default for CCID3

The TFRC nofeedback timer normally expires after the maximum of 4
RTTs and twice the current send interval (RFC 3448, 4.3). On LANs
with a small RTT this can mean a high processing load and reduced
performance, since then the nofeedback timer is triggered very
frequently. As a result, the sending rate quickly converges towards
zero.

This patch provides a configuration option to set the bound for the
nofeedback timer, using as default the TCP lower bound of 1 second.

By setting the configuration option to 0, strict RFC 3448 behaviour
can be enforced for the nofeedback timer.

Looks ok, you just forgot to update the commit log message, the
default is not anymore 1 second, its 100ms :-)
