This might overflow. You can prevent this by asserting that clk_rate is
<= NSEC_PER_SEC and using mul_u64_u64_div_u64.

A comment that/why this cannot overflow would be nice. (I didn't check,
maybe it can?)

Without having thought deeply about this, I think you need to round up
here. Hmm, but given that .apply() uses round-closest, too, this needs
to be addressed separately.

(The ugly thing about round-closest is that .apply(mypwm,
.get_state(mypwm)) isn't idempotent in general. Consider a PWM that can
implement period = 41.7ns and period = 42.4 ns. If it's configured with
42.4, .get_state will return period = 42. Reapplying this will configure
for 41.7ns. This won't happen with the PCI clkrate, but it might in the
of case. Another reason to use rounding-down in .apply is that
mul_u64_u64_div_u64 doesn't have a round-nearest variant.)

Given that clk_ns was only introduced in patch #2 I think it would be
cleaner to squash these two patches together.
