My idea was to just add a fallback of

#ifndef CLOCK_TICK_RATE
#define CLOCK_TICK_RATE                1193182
#endif

to include/linux/timex.h. Since al existing architectures already define
CLOCK_TICK_RATE as a macro, I don't see anything changing for them.

The only difference would be that all architectures that use the default
value can have an empty timex.h.

Am I missing something?
