+ * make_ntp_adj - Adjusts the specified clocksource for a given error
+ *
+ * @clock:		Pointer to clock to be adjusted
+ * @cycles_delta:	Current unacounted cycle delta
+ * @error:		Pointer to current error value
+ *
+ * Returns clock shifted nanosecond adjustment to be applied against
+ * the accumulated time value (ie: xtime).
+ *
+ * If the error value is large enough, this function calulates the
+ * (power of two) adjustment value, and adjusts the clock's mult and
+ * interval_snsecs values accordingly.
+ *
+ * However, since there may be some unaccumulated cycles, to avoid
+ * time inconsistencies we must adjust the accumulation value
+ * accordingly.
+ *
+ * This is not very intuitive, so the following proof should help:
+ * The basic timeofday algorithm:  base + cycle * mult
+ * Thus:
+ *    new_base + cycle * new_mult = old_base + cycle * old_mult
+ *    new_base = old_base + cycle * old_mult - cycle * new_mult
+ *    new_base = old_base + cycle * (old_mult - new_mult)
+ *    new_base - old_base = cycle * (old_mult - new_mult)
+ *    base_delta = cycle * (old_mult - new_mult)
+ *    base_delta = cycle * (mult_delta)
+ *
+ * Where mult_delta is the adjustment value made to mult
