sorry, it's really my fault: i decoupled it from the jumbopatch (so that
the new API could go in first) but forgot to re-send that crutial bit.
There's also the patch below (Jens Cc:-ed) to update blktrace. I guess i
should do a softlockup.git tree to avoid such foul-ups in the future.

Subject: blktrace: use cpu_clock() instead of sched_clock()
From: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

use cpu_clock() instead of sched_clock(). (the latter is not a proper
clock-source)
