Thomas is busy this week, he is on a conference. Guys if you want to do this outside of the x86 tree please test this series thoroughly on x86 as well before pushing it out anywhere permanent or pushing it into linux-next. Also note that there's also some pending changes in the x86 tree modifying arch/x86/kernel/i8253.c: b01cc1b0eae0: x86: Convert remaining x86 clocksources to clocksource_register_hz/khz If you want to do any further change to this file you need to pull in this change first or need to resolve the conflict in some other way.
