Subject: NTP time sync



 wrto the in-kernel NTP synchronization,
 as discussed before [1], my opinion
 is that it should be done in userland.

 Keeping it in kernel implies subtle code
 in each of the supported architectures.

 So, if the arch maintainers agree, 
 I would suggest to schedule it for removal.
