no, this really is broken code. sched_clock() is not a generally 
reliable time source so at a minimum the rq->clock fix i mentioned is 
needed. What user-space tools are utilizing delay-accounting by the way? 
We have most of this data available under SCHEDSTATS - how about 
consolidating CONFIG_TASK_DELAY_ACCT into CONFIG_SCHEDSTATS?
