This is *still* wrong.

That C type prefix should be at the *define*, not the use of those macros.

The thing is, if C code needs to do

	U64_C(HZ_TO_USEC_MUL32)

to use the macro HZ_TO_USEC_MUL32, then that is a *bug* in the macro.

That kind of stuff should not be visible to users of plain constants!
