Oh, I agree also. I don't think any of the high-res-timers
support patches belong in the tree. For testing and
verifying the system calls, however, it is nice to have
them. It is easy to do the patch and then move the whole
directory as this is the only thing in it.

I might suggest, however, that we should have a regression
test set for the kernel "somewhere". Does such a thing
exist? I haven't seen it, but then I have yet to see a
great number of things ;)
