Subject: [GIT Pull V2] timer fixes for 2.6.35-rc1

Linus,

please discard the previous pull and take this one. I missed the timer
fix in the first place.


Please pull the latest timers-for-linus-urgent git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip.git timers-for-linus-urgent

Thanks,

	tglx
