Makes sense - but this code should be converted to the kernel coding 
style. See other code in kernel/time/*.c for examples.

I'm also wondering whether including LGPL glibc code in the kernel 
like this is license-appropriate - there seems to be few precedents 
of it. It _should_ be OK, but i've Cc:-ed involved folks just to 
make sure everyone agrees ...

Since you'll modify it anyway to match up the style, the license 
itself could be restricted to the kernel's GPLv2 subset, that's OK 
as per LGPL.
