yes, but that would be easy to fix up via calling 
sched_clock_idle_wakeup_event(0) when doing a frequency transition, 
without burdening the normal sched_clock() codepath with the offset. See 
the attached latest version.

Subject: x86: scale cyc_2_nsec according to CPU frequency
From: "Guillaume Chazarain" <[email protected]>

scale the sched_clock() cyc_2_nsec scaling factor according to
CPU frequency changes.

[ [email protected]: simplified it and fixed it for SMP. ]
