Subject: Re: [PATCH 01/10] -mm  clocksource: increase initcall priority

First of all, sorry for not reviewing these patches sooner. Its been
sitting in on my todo list for way too long. Thanks for continuing to
push it despite my slowness.

with it, although I worry it might bring up some initialization ordering
issues. It will need some careful testing in -mm.
