12 * This is the frequency of the timer used for Linux's timer interrupt.
13 * The value should be defined as accurate as possible or under certain
14 * circumstances Linux timekeeping might become inaccurate or fail.
15 *
16 * For many system the exact clockrate of the timer isn't known but due to
17 * the way this value is used we can get away with a wrong value as long
18 * as this value is:
19 *
20 * - a multiple of HZ
21 * - a divisor of the actual rate
22 *
23 * 500000 is a good such cheat value.
24 *
25 * The obscure number 1193182 is the same as used by the original i8254
26 * time in legacy PC hardware; the chip is never found in AVR32 systems.
