No, printk() does not need this.  You think it does, but it doesn't.  What
we have is a difference between ARM and x86, and this difference is breaking
the scheduler.

The fact that the printk timestamp increments while suspended is a bug.  It
doesn't on x86.
Russell, I agree that it's a bug, but does it qualify as a something
you're willing to take for v3.7-rc?
Definitely.  Our current behaviour across suspend for the scheduler is
wrong.  This is one of the questions I had when I created the sched_clock
stuff - but no one at the time could answer.  So, now that we have our
answer, let's get it fixed to conform.
