What new macros you're talking about? Nothing new needs to be added 
as there's already KHZ_PER_MHZ so these would just be:

	bandwidth *= KHZ_PER_MHZ;
	center_freq *= KHZ_PER_MHZ;

Everything can of course be postponed by the argument that some 
subsystem specific mechanism has been there before the generic one
but the end of that road won't be pretty... What I was trying to do
here was to point out the new stuff introduced by this series into the 
direction of the generic thing.
