Let's go to war with quotes then, because clearly you haven't read the code
properly:

| #ifndef CONFIG_SMP
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
| static unsigned long l_p_j_ref;
| static unsigned int  l_p_j_ref_freq;
| 
| static void adjust_jiffies(unsigned long val, struct cpufreq_freqs *ci)
| {
| 	... code to adjust jiffies ...
| }
| #else
| static inline void adjust_jiffies(unsigned long val, struct cpufreq_freqs *ci)
| {
|         return;
| }
| #endif

Notice how if CONFIG_SMP is set, adjust_jiffies becomes a no-op.  So if
CONFIG_SMP=y, loops_per_jiffy will _not_ be scaled by core code.
