Jens, this regression is still in .35-rc1 and triggers in about 25% of all 
-tip boot tests.

The above commit is using sched_clock() in an unsafe way - please fix it or 
revert it.

The local_clock() changes PeterZ is working on are still WIP, it's not sure 
we'll have it before .36.

Thanks,

	Ingo
