How about this comment then:
/*
* CLOCK_TICK_RATE is traditionally the base frequency using the PC-style
* i8253 "PIT" timer. Architecture independent device drivers should not
* rely on this value.
* Any architecture that either has a real PC-style PIT, or does not have a
* fixed timer interval at all and just needs to provide some value here
* should just fall back to this default.
