Subject: [PATCH] Hook compat_sys_nanosleep up to high res timer code


Now we have high res timers on ppc64 I thought Id test them. It turns
out compat_sys_nanosleep hasnt been converted to the hrtimer code and so
is limited to HZ resolution.

The following patch makes compat_sys_nanosleep call hrtimer_nanosleep
and uses compat_alloc_user_space to avoid setting KERNEL_DS.
