[PATCH 3/10] NTP: add ntp_update_frequency

From: Roman Zippel
Date: Wed Dec 21 2005 - 18:21:03 EST



This introduces ntp_update_frequency and deinlines ntp_clear() (as it's
not performance critical).
It also changes how tick_nsec is calculated from tick_usec, instead of
scaling it using TICK_USEC_TO_NSEC it's simply shifted by the difference.
Since ntp doesn't change the tick value, the result in practice is the
same, but it's easier to change this into a clock parameter, which can
be calculated during boot.
