+	 *	xtime_interval = (cycle_interval * mult) + cycle_interval
+	 * Which can be shortened to:
+	 *	xtime_interval += cycle_interval
+	 *
+	 * So offset stores the non-accumulated cycles. Thus the current
+	 * time (in shifted nanoseconds) is:
+	 *	now = (offset * adj) + xtime_nsec
+	 * Now, even though we're adjusting the clock frequency, we have
+	 * to keep time consistent. In other words, we can't jump back
+	 * in time, and we also want to avoid jumping forward in time.
+	 *
+	 * So given the same offset value, we need the time to be the same
+	 * both before and after the freq adjustment.
+	 *	now = (offset * adj_1) + xtime_nsec_1
+	 *	now = (offset * adj_2) + xtime_nsec_2
+	 * So:
+	 *	(offset * adj_1) + xtime_nsec_1 =
+	 *		(offset * adj_2) + xtime_nsec_2
+	 * And we know:
+	 *	adj_2 = adj_1 + 1
+	 * So:
+	 *	(offset * adj_1) + xtime_nsec_1 =
+	 *		(offset * (adj_1+1)) + xtime_nsec_2
+	 *	(offset * adj_1) + xtime_nsec_1 =
+	 *		(offset * adj_1) + offset + xtime_nsec_2
+	 * Canceling the sides:
+	 *	xtime_nsec_1 = offset + xtime_nsec_2
+	 * Which gives us:
+	 *	xtime_nsec_2 = xtime_nsec_1 - offset
+	 * Which simplfies to:
+	 *	xtime_nsec -= offset
