   * On the other hand we want to avoid wrapping around frequently so the idea
   * is to reduce the clock resolution to the bare minimum. This is defined by
   * the TCP/IP stack using a 1/2 second periodic timer. So CLOCK_CONF_SECOND
   * needs to be defined at least as 2.
   * The value 2 works out especially nicely as it allows us to implement the
   * clock frequency devider below purely in (32 bit) integer arithmetic based
   * on the educated guess of CLK_TCK being an even value. */
