Hmm, I don' t like very much the fact that 2.2 will have no one
probability to survive at the jiffies wrap but sure it' s better that it
dies than what it does in 2.0 (there could be something screwed up). In
2.2 we could eventually do something like this:

if (!++jiffies)
panic("You get here because Linux is COOL!");
