This can overflow.
Multiply is giving 32bits, as tsc_khz is an int, and sysctl_net_ll_poll
is an int.
unsigned long sysctl_net_ll_poll ?
OK
Also, if we want this to work on i386, the correct type to use for
ll_end_time(void) would be cycles_t
OK
I would be really surprised if someone uses this on an i386, but I guess
you never know.
Thanks!
