Subject: [resend PATCH for 3.2] procfs: do not confuse jiffies with
 cputime64_t

Hmm, it seems that this bugfix (for 3.2) stalled. I guess that it is
primarily because it is multiarch fix.
I am sorry to bother you Andrew but could we push this through you,
please?

The full patch for reference:

Subject: [PATCH] procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t

get_{idle,iowait}_time are supposed to return cputime64_t values, not
jiffies.  Add usecs_to_cputime64 for this.
