I assume you are saying that you want to update loops-per-jiffie while at an intermediate frequency. Why? This operation should not take very long.
Imagine a (hypothetical?) processor that changes frequency in many small steps until it converges to the target rate. Would you want to update lpj for every step?
That's why I have asked Russell specifically about this but haven't got a reply yet. But it looks wrong to me as well now.. Probably we don't need to care about it at all..
