Here are 80 character problems:
1. pit_clockevent.mult = div_sc(CLOCK_TICK_RATE, NSEC_PER_SEC,
pit_clockevent.shift);
2. pit_clockevent.max_delta_ns =
clockevent_delta2ns(0x7FFF, &pit_clockevent);
3. pit_clockevent.min_delta_ns =
clockevent_delta2ns(0xF, &pit_clockevent);
4. clocksource_pit.mult = clocksource_hz2mult(CLOCK_TICK_RATE,
clocksource_pit.shift);
