Subject: [docs] update kernel-parameters with tick-divider
Message-id: 48D11ECB.1060100@redhat.com
O-Subject: [RHEL5.3 PATCH v2]: Update kernel-parameters with tick-divider
Bugzilla: 454792

We have a request to better document the tick divider patch that went into 5.1.
 Towards this end, I came up with the following patch to
Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.  Not sure if it needs ACKs or anything, but
I wanted to make sure dzickus saw it.  This will resolve BZ 454792.  This
version doesn't tell the user to divide by zero (thanks Alan).
