Seems to be a nice change. I think it would be better to get Tim's fix into Linus's tree and let your rationalisation bake for a while in -mm.
There is currently a mysterious timer lockup happening on power4 machines. I'd like to keep these changes well-separated in time so we can get an understanding of what code changes correlate with changed behaviour.
There are timer changes in Linus's post-2.5.65 tree and your patch generates zillions of rejects against everything. Can you send me a diff against Linus's latest sometime?
