From: Nishanth Aravamudan Add a usecs_to_jiffies() function. This will be used in one of my subsequent patches. With the potential for dynamic HZ values much higher than 1000, we may need to consider times as small as usecs in terms of jiffies. We have msecs_to_jiffies(), jiffies_to_msecs() and jiffies_to_usecs(), but no usecs_to_jiffies().
