Thank you so much for this series.  I'm running 3.16 and without these 
patches ntpd is all over the place, so it is a huge improvement  I do 
have a comment further down though..

In the datasheet it says the percentage is 0.96 * (H - L) / H.  1/96 is 
close but not the same as 0.0096.

So this would be become :-

	/* NB: 0.96% = 0.0048 or 3/625 */
	freq_swing_half = (((u64)high_bound - (u64)low_bound)
			* (u64)system_clk * 3);
	do_div(freq_swing_half, (625 * high_bound));

I don't have a good way to measure the difference but my small 
modification seems correct as per the datasheet.
