You will find most of the usage of these > macros are just compare some value with jiffies after doing some grep. That is no reason to add more macros that hide how they do it, or make jiffies itself invisible to the grep search or variable usage finding tools (and for tickless that very thing is important) > For these cases this adding will easy use and understand. It hides information.
