This patch really needs some kind of explanation.  It's far from obvious
from the casual reader why moving from a fixed value of 200Hz for the
kernel tick rate to a range from 32 to 1024 would be legal.

If 100Hz was possible before, and that's the architecture default, why
was 200Hz chosen instead?

And is 99Hz and 101Hz allowable?
