Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!

* For performance reasons, we don't want to define CLOCK_TICK_TRATE as

* Anzinger, 1/CLOCK_TICK_RATE is taken as the resolution of the timer clock. The time
* calculation assumes that you will use enough of these so that your tick size <= 1/HZ.
* If the calculation shows that your CLOCK_TICK_RATE can not supply exactly 1/HZ ticks,
* the actual value is calculated and used to update the wall clock each jiffie. Setting
* the CLOCK_TICK_RATE to x*HZ insures that the calculation will find no errors. Hence we
* pick a multiple of HZ which gives us a (totally virtual) CLOCK_TICK_RATE of about
* 100MHz.
