ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY is 3579545, thus you're waiting 357 ticks but the
actual result of the division is much closer to 358.  The error is only
0.26%, but it's so simple to reduce it that I think it's worth it.  Just
change (ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY / 10000) to (ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY + 5000) /
10000.

Paolo,
It is nice to have it I think, and I prefer to use (ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY + 5000) / 10000. Since I have pushed this patch, do you mind to contribute the proposal with a new patch?

Thanks,
Star


Another possibility is to count 343 ticks and multiply by 10436; 343 *
10436 is almost exactly ACPI_TIMER_FREQUENCY.
