The overall errors are smaller though if we use proper rounding. (Extend this to the purely cosmetic aspect of time.c's freq_string(), which before this change I've frequently observed to report e.g. NN.999MHz HPET clock speeds.) While adding the rounding logic, also switch to using an unsigned constant for the other, original half of bus_cycle's calculation.
