Don't know if this was simply a #define change, but if so...
Robert Love has been arguing lately that you can't just do that as
various userspace stuff is compiled with a knowledge of the kernel HZ
value for your specific arch and uses that in interpreting various
entries in /proc.  He had a patch that kept the userspace view
consistent.  That was 2.4 though; maybe 2.5 is better in this respect.
