Arjan van de Ven 4c36a5dec2 [PATCH] round_jiffies infrastructure
Introduce a round_jiffies() function as well as a round_jiffies_relative()
function.  These functions round a jiffies value to the next whole second.
The primary purpose of this rounding is to cause all "we don't care exactly
when" timers to happen at the same jiffy.

This avoids multiple timers firing within the second for no real reason;
with dynamic ticks these extra timers cause wakeups from deep sleep CPU
sleep states and thus waste power.

The exact wakeup moment is skewed by the cpu number, to avoid all cpus from
waking up at the exact same time (and hitting the same lock/cachelines
there)
