There appears to be some fairly clear duplication between my clocksource tree and this release of high resolution timers. Not to mention that we both submitted our tree's to Andrew within days . To lessen Andrews burden it would be wise to integrate the two trees prior to anything going into -mm .. It makes sense to eliminate this kind of duplication since it just results in wasted effort. With the benefit that the merge would likely result in a stronger patch set over all.
