* kernel-time-sched_clockc-correct-the-comparison-parameter-of-mhz.patch

I believe Russell nacked this change[1]? This should probably be dropped
unless there's been more discussion. Or maybe reworked into a comment in
the code that doesn't lead to the same change again.

[1] https://lkml.org/lkml/2013/8/7/95

Well OK, but the code looks totally wrong.  Care to send a comment patch
so the next confused person doesn't "fix" it?

Sure, how about this?

Subject: [PATCH] sched_clock: Document 4Mhz vs 1Mhz decision

Bo Shen sent a patch to change this to 1Mhz instead of 4Mhz but
according to Russell King the use of 4Mhz was intentional. Add a
comment to this effect so that others don't try to change the
code as well.
