Re: [PATCH RFC 2/8] clock device: convert clock_gettime

I wonder thought if it would be worth having a syscall to convert from

not be worth it, as we're probably already limited by the cpuclock
implementation.

If the file descriptor comes from a character device, we don't even need
a syscall, it could simply be an ioctl on the device.
