Easier to define a compile time constant in the kernel.
What you need is to replace the HZ/4 in the creation and execution
of the timer with a constant. And that the value of said constant would
be preferably in the 250ms range.

If you fix this also would be worth fixing the ones in
net/sched/estimator.c
