Subject[RFC PATCH 12/15] clocksource: Ignore nohz task cpu in clocksource watchdog
Date
The watchdog should probably make an exception for nohz task cpus
that want to be interrupted the least possible.

However we probably need to warn the user about that.

Another solution would be to make this timer defferable.
