no, it cannot affect jiffies. (jiffies was a red herring all along)
udelay() cannot be affected either - sched_clock() has no effect on
udelay(). _But_, when there are TSC problems then tsc based udelay()
suffers too so the phenomenons may _seem_ related.
iirc these high rate wakeups happened on 2.6.22 too.
