/* Accelerators for sched_clock()
 * convert from cycles(64bits) => nanoseconds (64bits)
 *  basic equation:
 *		ns = cycles / (freq / ns_per_sec)
 *		ns = cycles * (ns_per_sec / freq)
 *		ns = cycles * (10^9 / (cpu_khz * 10^3))
 *		ns = cycles * (10^6 / cpu_khz)
 *
 *	Then we use scaling math (suggested by george@mvista.com) to get:
 *		ns = cycles * (10^6 * SC / cpu_khz) / SC
 *		ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
 *
 *	And since SC is a constant power of two, we can convert the div
 *  into a shift.
 *
 *  We can use khz divisor instead of mhz to keep a better precision, since
 *  cyc2ns_scale is limited to 10^6 * 2^10, which fits in 32 bits.

 *
 * In:
 *
 * ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
 *
 * Although we may still have enough bits to store the value of ns,
 * in some cases, we may not have enough bits to store cycles * cyc2ns_scale,
 * leading to an incorrect result.
 *
 * To avoid this, we can decompose 'cycles' into quotient and remainder
 * of division by SC.  Then,
 *
 * ns = (quot * SC + rem) * cyc2ns_scale / SC
 *    = quot * cyc2ns_scale + (rem * cyc2ns_scale) / SC
