Log:
  Fix division by zero panic if kern.hz less than 32.
MFC after: 1 day

This is wrong. In the case you are worried about here, lapic_timer_hz is less than 128. There is no way you are going to fire stathz 128 times per second from a timer running at < 128 hz. You are effectively running stathz at lapic_timer_hz, so I would just set stathz = lapic_timer_hz in this case. Also, I would drop the extra {}'s to match style(9) as well as the existing style of the file.

It might be wrong, but it's better than division by zero panic. And it actually works, check this screenshot:

[EMAIL PROTECTED] ~]$ sysctl -a | grep hz
kern.clockrate: { hz = 10, tick = 100000, profhz = 40, stathz = 128 }

As for the style(9), I am not really sure that applies, the exact quote:

<quote>
Space after keywords (if, while, for, return, switch).  No braces (`{'
and `}') are used for control statements with zero or only a single
statement unless that statement is more than a single line in which case
they are permitted.  Forever loops are done with for's, not while's.
</quote>

To me the following if:

if ()
  stmt1;
else
  stmt2;

falls into the category of statements with more than single line (3 in this case), so that {} is appropriate. So that either my change is OK, or style(9) needs to be clarified to include if/else explicitly.
