To accelerate matters i've committed the new API patch into a new 
standalone topic branch: tip:timers/new-apis.

Unless there are objections or test failures, you (or Stephen or  
David) can then git-pull it into the networking tree via the Git  
coordinates below - and you'll get this single commit in a surgical 
manner - no other timer changes are included.

Doing so has the advantage of:

- You not having to wait a kernel cycle for the API to go
  upstream.

- You can also push it upstream without waiting for the timer   tree. 
(the timer tree and the networking tree will share the   exact same 
commit)

- It will also all merge cleanly with the timer tree in   linux-next, 
etc.

I'd suggest to do it in about a week, to make sure any after effects 
have trickled down and to make sure the topic has become append-only. 
You can ping Thomas and me about testing/review status then, whenever 
you want to do the pull.

Thanks Ingo. I'll wait for Stephen to rebase his patches on 
top of your change and the test results and will let you know.

Stress-testing here in the last ~2 hours on eight x86 test-boxes 
showed no problems so far.
