Would you accept patches for these, or is that a 2.3 problem?

Given that they're new files anyway, changing them shouldn't hurt too much.

do_proc_dointvec() already gets passed a conversion factor; it should be
comparatively easy to emit the remainder as some kind of fraction instead
of tossing said fraction to the bitbucket.

Anyway, the /proc-settable keepalive times are, as of 2.1.125, exported
with proc_dointvec_jiffies, which means they're displayed in seconds,
so there's actually no problem there.
