So while still waiting for feedback on the clock_was_set() change, I 
went ahead and generated backports for most of the stable kernels on 
kernel.org.

Clearly these shouldn't go anywhere until the fix is upstream, but since 
I assume there's a number of distro developers who are likely under 
pressure to have a fix soon, I wanted to make them available so no one 
is duplicating work.

You can find them here:

I did boot and test each of those kernels with my leaptest-timer.c test 
successfully.

thanks
