I've considered this but then freaked out thinking about hunting down all
the places we use adjusted_mode->clock and checking whether I need to
change something ... So I've opted for the more minimal "mode->clock"
grep.

Call me a wimp, but before I try to slaugther that dragon I'd like to have
a more clear understanding of how this actually works and what it best
should look like.
