I believe Thomas has already mentioned before that the change to the
timekeeping_clocktai() function is not obvious here. I'd suggest you
split out the changes here along with the posix_get_tai() that
calls it into its own patch with a good description, and leave all
the simple changes to kernel/time/posix-timers.c in a second patch.

I don't think it's necessary to split up the other changes from
this patch any further. If Thomas or someone else disagrees with this
and wants it more fine-grained, it would be good to say that now.
