Subject: [PATCH 0/2] Additional time changes for 3.6

Thomas, Ingo, 

Just wanted to send out two more patches against tip/timers/core
for consideration for 3.6.

The first is Catalin's patch to make CLOCK_TICK_RATE optional and
is fairly straight forward.

The second is a patch to improve the handling of the duplicate
offs_real/wall_to_mono and  offs_boot/total_sleep_time pairs.

This second one is a result of the suspend regression in 3.5-rc7
making it clear that these value pairs have to be more carefully
handled, so by forcing all modifications use the set functions
and warning if the value pairs are ever out of sync should
avoid future mistakes.

Please take a look and let me know if you have any thoughts
or concerns on these changes.

thanks
-john
