This cannot work, getrawmonotonic() isn't NMI-safe and there's
nothing stopping this being used from NMI context.
Also getrawmonotonic() + timespec_to_ns() will make tglx sad, he's just
done a tree-wide eradication of silly conversions and now you're adding
a ns -> timespec -> ns dance right back.
I _think_ you want ktime_get_mono_fast_ns(), but this does bring us
right back to the question/discussion on which timebase you'd want to
sync again. MONO does make sense for most cases, but I think we've had
fairly sane stories for people wanting to sync against other clocks.
A well..
