Applying the patch on top of 2.6.32.y causes build failure as the fix calls a macro from
"tick-internal.h".

#include "tick-internal.h"

was added to clockevents.c with 8e1a928a2ed7e8 in linux-2.6/master for another reason e.g.
the patch is OK for linux-2.6/master but should be modified to add #include directive
for .32.y when backporting.
