+ * This is the frequency of the timer used for Linux's timer interrupt.
+ * The value should be defined as accurate as possible or under certain
+ * circumstances Linux timekeeping might become inaccurate or fail.
+ *
+ * For many system the exact clockrate of the timer isn't known but due to
+ * the way this value is used we can get away with a wrong value as long
+ * as this value is:
+ *
+ * - a multiple of HZ
+ * - a divisor of the actual rate
+ *
+ * 500000 is a good such cheat value.

+ * The obscure number 1193182 is the same as used by the original i8254
+ * time in legacy PC hardware; the chip is never found in AVR32 systems.
