3.4-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Jacob Keller <jacob.e.keller@intel.com>

commit 87f4d7c1d36f44b0822053b7e5dedc31fdd0ab99 upstream.

This patch updates the adjfreq callback description to include a note that the
delta in ppb is always relative to the base frequency, and not to the current
frequency of the hardware clock.
