Well, the time-until-the-hangcheck-fires in your example above looks
pretty bogus -- over 4 hours until next check seems rather unlikely, not
to say useless. The seq_printf format should be %u rather than %d, but I
don't think that's really the reason.

[[ Aside: the signatures of the jiffy-converting functions are:
	unsigned int jiffies_to_msecs(const unsigned long j);
	unsigned int jiffies_to_usecs(const unsigned long j);
which don't seem very sensible, as
(a) they return a possibly-smaller type than their argument, despite
probably needing a larger numeric range (if HZ <= MSEC_PER_SEC, hence
interval-in-ms is a larger number than interval-in-jiffies, and even
more so for usec), and
(b) they're defined only for non-negative quantities, whereas time
intervals can meaningfully be signed. Even if jiffies are regarded as
unsigned-ticks-since-boot, the subtraction of two unsigned quantities
yields a signed difference, requiring extra checks if you don't know
whether a certain absolute time has passed or not.
(c) 'ktime_t's are so much nicer than jiffies ]]
