Nitpicking, I would write this "to minimize the jitter".

Nitpicking again, I would write this "This code only runs on 64-bit 
architectures, the unsigned long type can thus be used for 64-bit computation. 
It will still compile without any warning on 32-bit architectures."

This is called fout in your diagram above, I would use the same name here.

How about

		if (fvco < 1000 || fvco > 2048 * 1000 * 1000)

to avoid computing the intermediate fvco variable ?

If you agree with these small changes there's no need to resubmit the patch, 
I'll modify it when applying, and
