Actually, INITIAL_JIFFIES appears to be buggy on 64bit linux:

#define INITIAL_JIFFIES ((unsigned long)(unsigned int) (-300*HZ))

The casting to uint makes it still 0xfffedb08 instead of 
0xfffffffffffedb08 which is what the intention is, that jiffies should
wrap in few minutes. So, if they fix it in linux in future, my
patch will still have the same problem. 

Ok, I'll come up with another patch.

thanks,
Mukesh
