At some point, I should have looked at the other calls to these
functions.  :-/

But would the following patch make sense?  This would not help for (say)
use of TICK_MASK_BIT_POSIX_TIMER instead of TICK_DEP_BIT_POSIX_TIMER, but
would help for any new values that might be added later on.  And currently
for TICK_DEP_MASK_CLOCK_UNSTABLE and TICK_DEP_MASK_RCU.

							Thanx, Paul
