Mathieu Desnoyers dacb16b1a0 [PATCH] i386 and x86_64 TSC set_cyc2ns_scale imprecision
I just found out that some precision is unnecessarily lost in the
arch/i386/kernel/timers/timer_tsc.c:set_cyc2ns_scale function.  It uses a
cpu_mhz parameter when it could use a cpu_khz.  In the specific case of an
Intel P4 running at 3001.171 Mhz, the truncation to 3001 Mhz leads to an
imprecision of 19 microseconds per second : this is very sad for a timer with
nearly nanosecond accuracy.

Fix the x86_64 architecture too.
