Stephane, do you think having the lower 4 bits set is worth an EINVAL?
I would rather ignore them since the accuracy is not really necessary
compared to a range lets say from 100000 cycles? Otherwise this will
make the setup of ibs much more complicated. The check could be moved
to userland and generate a waring or so.
