I've played around with the new timer statistics to see which timers might benefit of being moved from traditional timers to hrtimers.
Since my understanding is that timer_list timers are not really meant to expire, this seems to include a lot of what comes in through schedule_timeout, in particular select() and futex wait. I have no idea if what I was attempting is even the right approach to start with, but I want to share the patches in case it is ;-). Maybe someone is interested in running some low-level benchmarks on this or point out any bugs in the code.
