[GIT PULL] timer fixes

From: Ingo Molnar

Linus,

Please pull the latest timer-fixes-for-linus git tree from:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git timer-fixes-for-linus

The posix clocks change fixes a pretty bad latency regression introduced in
this cycle. (In hindsight this information should have been in the changelog)

Thanks,

Ingo
