The EMC table is generated with kHz and I'd rather not change the values
in those entries. There's only a few cases where we need to convert from
one to the other, and they are always only when we compare a CCF rate to
the EMC rate, so I think it's fairly explicit when it's needed.

I assume that at least each invocation would take roughly the same
amount of time? Since we only use the value to compute the time since
the last clock change the result should always be valid. In the worst
case if ktime_get() really takes that long we may be waiting longer
than we need to, but that wouldn't be all that bad either. Changing
the EMC clock rate isn't something that you want to do a lot.

The idea is to make them easily tunable without having to go hunt for
them later on. We don't use them in a lot of computations, so making
them constants isn't going to buy us a lot. Also, none of these code
paths are really hot, so I like the flexibility that this gives us in
being able to quickly tweak if we ever need to without having to worry
that we'll forget a location.
