Yes I agree, it doesn't really matter what value we return and `bound'
is most likely to be correct. I think we should also fix the unlikely
but still possible case when tv1.tv_usec is slightly smaller than
tv2.tv_usec. I know it is very unlikely but do_gettimeofday really
is not that reliable and we have users which rely on a positive
delta. Can you extend your patch to return abs(delta) for case 0
in PSCHED_TDIFF_SAFE?

Why abs(delta)? It could be above bound, in fact all cases besides
delta_sec > 2 doesn't take care to stay inside [0..bound] at all.

Applied, thanks Patrick.
