This is basically the reverse of 7c1e768974 (clockevents: prevent

Hmm. You seem to be right. Instead of applying this to stable, it
looks like we should revert it from mainline.

So please consider reverting it for now.

Thomas? It does seem to be broken and there do seem to be regression

Should I revert it, or do you have alternative fixes?

Hmm. I have no idea what broke. Will have a look.

Thanks,
