OK, then this is a patch contains the changes.
Adding S390 maintainer Martin Schwidefsky to CC.

This patch is against current git tree, so does not contains a change
to arch/avr32 which is in mm tree.  I can create a patch against mm
tree if expected.


[PATCH] cleanup do_timer and update_times

Pass ticks to do_timer() and update_times().

This also make a barrier added by
5aee405c662ca644980c184774277fc6d0769a84 needless.

Also adjust x86_64 and s390 timer interrupt handler with this change.
