That should read we "know" that HZ is 1000....

How about this instead?

#if HZ == 1000
#define JIFFIES_TO_MSEC(x) (x)
#else
#define JIFFIES_TO_MSEC(x) ((x) * 1000 / HZ)
#endif

That will DTRT if somebody changes HZ for their build, and still allow
us to avoud the *1000/1000 conversion for most builds.....
