It's in the struct ctl_table oa_table[] declaration of the
"oa_max_sample_rate" paramater, assigned to .extra2 which is referenced by
the proc_dointvec_minmax validation handler for the parameter.

Yeah, this code will need adapting for gen9+. I guess we'll change it to
work in terms of ((2<<exp) * NSEC_PER_SEC) / timestamp_frequency.
