I did see the extended discussion, and it was interesting :-) But that mainly focused on the second patch, which I appropriately marked as needing changes in patchwork. This patch on the other hand is attacking a different problem, namely avoiding the worst cases caused by the randomization we do for the timer. With bad luck this thing times out way too fast because the total of all of the randomized intervals can end up being very small, and I think we should fix that independently of the other issues hit by the IB folks.
