Interesting. This kernel option is designed to reduce the valy of
CONFIG_HZ at run=time, so if you have a 1000Hz kernel, setting
divider=10 at boot time will effectively give you a 100Hz kernel.
This seems to fly in the face of other recommendations on this kernel
setting!
Debian default kernel sets CONFIG_HZ=100
CentOS default kernel sets CONFIG_HZ=1000
