hi John,
very nice. Tested with mhz27 too.

It eliminates this noise that Ive started seeing recently (for some
value of recent)
enabling scx200 high-res timer (1 MHz +0 ppm)

Switching to clocksource scx200_hrt

reserves a dynamic major, but was called with major:3077. Caller
should pass major:0 for this.

Adjusting scx200_hrt more then 11% (-100663808 vs 360710144)
NB - s/then/than/ Im attaching a patch for that.
Also, "when then" is a little awkward.
/*
* Have to be careful here. If we're in oneshot mode,
* before we call tick_periodic() in a loop, we need
* to be sure we're using a real hardware clocksource.
* Otherwise we could get trapped in an infinite
* loop, as the tick_periodic() increments jiffies,
* when then will increment time, posibly causing
* the loop to trigger again and again.
