Apologies for that. A few years back I found that I can mask most of the 
races which this patch is trying to address by pinning to a single CPU. 
As a result most of my test scripts have a taskset -c 0 in them.

The revised version where we restore the relay of nanosleep 
interruptions checks out for me, I just re-submitted it.

I will rebase my ubd patches on top of that and once they work, submit 
them as well.
