Nah. The bisect is bogus.

This has crept up in next already and I explained it a more than once to
0-day folks, that this is caused by the wireless stuff and now catched by
the sanity check of the clockids for hrtimers which got in via timers/core.

It catches the bogus hrtimer_init(CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) in the wireless
code.

I've sent the patch 3 times already. Here it is once more.

Thanks,

Subject: mac80211_hwsim: Replace bogus hrtimer clockid

mac80211_hwsim initializes a hrtimer with clockid
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. That's not supported.

Use CLOCK_MONOTNIC instead.
