| The 10^9 value that is used for 100 mS calibration time is pretty big as
| tglx's comment points out. We will only underflow it if there is a
| bus clock running at 10 GHz * 16 = 160 Ghz.
|
| This way we will not fix something that is not really broken today and will not
| break in foreseeable future.

I personally have no objection. Thanks Venki.
Btw since Ingo already picked the patch from me
maybe you could make a patch with numbers you mentoined
(ie changelog) and fix 0xffffffff to 10^9?
