I still object strongly to anything touching the timebase, however.

I'd prefer if it wasn't touched too... I've used it in both the IRQ blocking
measurement stuff (yet to be ported to 2.4.x) and the Audio Latency
measurement stuff (PPC port of Benno Sennoner's stuff)...

I thought I could rely on TB ;-))

ciao,
Iain.
