Make the x86 arch's apic clockevent driver initialize these fields properly. This patch alone doesn't introduce any change in functionality as the clockevents core still looks exclusively at the (untouched) ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns. As soon as this has changed, a followup patch will purge the initialization of ->min_delta_ns and ->max_delta_ns from this driver. Signed-off-by: Nicolai Stange --- Notes: (First test sending for 23 similar patches in different subsystems to follow.) This prerequisite patch is part of a larger effort to feed NTP corrections into the clockevent devices' frequencies and thus avoiding their notion of time to diverge from the system's one. If you're interested, the current state of the whole series can be found at [1]. If you haven't got any objections and these prerequisites get merged by 4.12 everywhere, I'll proceed with the remainder of this series in 4.13. Applicable to next-20170324 as well as to John' Stultz tree [2].
