Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!

19 * For performance reasons, we don't want to define CLOCK_TICK_TRATE as
20 * local_cpu_data->itc_rate. Fortunately, we don't have to, either: according to George
21 * Anzinger, 1/CLOCK_TICK_RATE is taken as the resolution of the timer clock. The time
22 * calculation assumes that you will use enough of these so that your tick size <= 1/HZ.
23 * If the calculation shows that your CLOCK_TICK_RATE can not supply exactly 1/HZ ticks,
24 * the actual value is calculated and used to update the wall clock each jiffie. Setting
25 * the CLOCK_TICK_RATE to x*HZ insures that the calculation will find no errors. Hence we
26 * pick a multiple of HZ which gives us a (totally virtual) CLOCK_TICK_RATE of about
27 * 100MHz.
