Hey Petr,
So I wanted to take another swing at the xtime_cache removal, and
wanted to see if you could give it a test to make sure the invalid atime
issue was resolved.
No urgent rush, but if you have a chance, it would be great if you'd try
this patch on 2.6.33-rc5+ kernel. Let me know if you still see the
issue from before.
thanks

With the earlier logarithmic time accumulation patch, xtime will now
always be within one "tick" of the current time, instead of possibly
half a second off.
This removes the need for the xtime_cache value, which always stored the
time at the last interrupt, so this patch cleans that up removing the
xtime_cache related code.
This patch also addresses an issue with an earlier version of this change,
where xtime_cache was normalizing xtime, which could in some cases be
not valid (ie: tv_nsec == NSEC_PER_SEC). This is fixed by handling
the edge case in update_wall_time().
