Subject: [PATCH 4/14] uml: track and make up lost ticks

>From a113552a171e5a30a8a478f7d4dcf8d0ff08f12f Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001

Alarm delivery could be noticably late in the !CONFIG_NOHZ case because lost
ticks weren't being taken into account. This is now treated more carefully,
with the time between ticks being calculated and the appropriate number of
ticks delivered to the timekeeping system.
