Rik van Riel correctly suggested to merge it in 2.5 first. I have a forward-ported version, but it has a minor locking issue on UP.
Albert Cahalan suggested to get rid of locking at all by only updating the high word from the timer interupt. I will try to code this on the weekend.
I'm sorry I had no time for lobbying the merge in the last month.
