Hello,
I think there is a bug in drivers/char/vt_ioctl.c. This code uses the
x86 (non-AMD-ELAN) value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE instead of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
itself, which is wrong for other archs.
This patch fixes it.
BTW, who is the maintainer of the text-mode console code? I couldn't
find it in the MAINTAINER file.
