  34  * inaccuracies caused by missed or lost timer
  35  * interrupts and the inability for the timer
  36  * interrupt hardware to accuratly tick at the

  43  * conversion, the .shift value could be zero. However
  44  * this would make NTP adjustments impossible as they are
  45  * in units of 1/2^.shift. Thus we use JIFFIES_SHIFT to
  46  * shift both the nominator and denominator the same
  47  * amount, and give ntp adjustments in units of 1/2^8
  48  *
  49  * The value 8 is somewhat carefully chosen, as anything
  50  * larger can result in overflows. NSEC_PER_JIFFY grows as
  51  * HZ shrinks, so values greater than 8 overflow 32bits when
  52  * HZ=100.
