timer_interrupt() measures the delay from an interrupt to its handling
in a variable called 'delay', but accounts every unit of delay as 1/HZ
seconds, instead of 1/CLOCK_TICK_RATE seconds.
on ordinary cpus this doesn't matter as delay is usually zero, but on my
10MHz bochs cpu this causes divide overflows later on.
(patch against 2.6.9 but should apply)
