This is a note to let you know that I've just added the patch titled

     time: Improve sanity checking of timekeeping inputs

to the 3.5-stable tree which can be found at:
     http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/stable/stable-queue.git;a=summary

The filename of the patch is:
      time-improve-sanity-checking-of-timekeeping-inputs.patch
and it can be found in the queue-3.5 subdirectory.

No, sorry, it fails to build on 3.5 and 3.4, even after I had to
hand-apply it.  So, can someone please backport it properly and send it
to stable@vger.kernel.org?

This may be reverted upstream, but if it isn't I'll do the by-hand 
backports of it and any fix to it next week.

thanks
