You fail to explain why any other part of the kernel requires a notification.
We went great length to confine timekeeping inside the core code and now you add random notifiers along with totally ugly tasklet constructs. What for?
Without a reasonable explanation of the problem you are trying to solve this is going nowhere near the tree.
