It looks pretty good already. :)
Give me a bit of time to rework the middle part a bit and if we can agree
to make the new gettimeofday functions optional for an arch, IMO it would
be ok for 2.6.17. I think the important part is to get the generic clock
infrastructure merged, so it can be used by other kernel parts, the
unification of performance sensitive parts can still be done on top of it
a bit later.

One general comment: Currently clock relevant source is scattered in
kernel/time/, drivers/clocksource and arch/... IMO it would be better to
keep at least the first two parts a bit closer, although I'm not sure how
to organize it better. I don't know if we can be so bold to add a toplevel
time/ (similiar to sound/) or maybe we organize a bit like drivers/ide/.
Anyway, maybe someone has a good idea to keep everything a bit closer
together.

bye, Roman
