SubjectRe: Increasing HZ (patch for HZ > 1000)

Actually, the way I rewrote it in the patch is immune to that kind of
problem:

seq_printf(m, "\nbogomips\t: %lu.%02lu\n\n",
HZ*(c->loops_per_jiffy>>3)/62500,
(HZ*(c->loops_per_jiffy>>3)/625)%100);

It will work correctly for any HZ up to ~34000 bogomips (using 32-bit
arithmetic).
