SubjectRe: [PATCH 3/5] lockstat: core infrastructure

exactly. Imprecise sched_clock() if there's a better fast clock source
available is a bug in the architecture code. If the only available
clocksource is 1 msec resolution then there's no solution and nothing to
talk about - lock statistics will be 1msec granular just as much as
scheduling.
