34  * inaccuracies caused by missed or lost timer
35  * interrupts and the inability for the timer

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.
