It looks pretty good already. :) Give me a bit of time to rework the middle part a bit and if we can agree to make the new gettimeofday functions optional for an arch, IMO it would be ok for 2.6.17. I think the important part is to get the generic clock infrastructure merged, so it can be used by other kernel parts, the unification of performance sensitive parts can still be done on top of it a bit later. One general comment: Currently clock relevant source is scattered in kernel/time/, drivers/clocksource and arch/... IMO it would be better to keep at least the first two parts a bit closer, although I'm not sure how to organize it better. I don't know if we can be so bold to add a toplevel time/ (similiar to sound/) or maybe we organize a bit like drivers/ide/. Anyway, maybe someone has a good idea to keep everything a bit closer together. bye, Roman - To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
