Subject: any value in centralizing a defn of "RUN_AT()"?


  i notice that a number of drivers duplicate a macro definition of
RUN_AT():

drivers/staging/vt6655/device.h:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies+(x))
drivers/net/irda/au1k_ir.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))
drivers/net/hamachi.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))
drivers/net/tulip/tulip.h:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))
drivers/net/wireless/airo.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies+(x))
drivers/net/rrunner.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))
drivers/net/bnx2.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))
drivers/net/3c59x.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))
drivers/net/fealnx.c:#define RUN_AT(x) (jiffies + (x))

  etc, etc.  any value in just defining that once in jiffies.h and
letting everyone use that?
