I don't think that should be in this file, it's implementation defined.
Also it might be nicer to just define it in jiffies, i.e. (10 * HZ),
directly.

This is really big (512 bytes) and per link - might make sense to only
allocate when needed.

What? No ... you really can't do this. Just schedule the work properly
at the right time, don't leave it running forever every 1 second!!

Again, no.
