Subject: [PATCH] Rework hrtimer_nanosleep to make sys_compat_nanosleep
	easier

 
Hi,

Good idea, patches updated.

> I think it would be better here to propagate the move to a kernel *rmtp

I can get to this later in the week, if you feel the urge in the
meantime go for it :)

Pull the copy_to_user out of hrtimer_nanosleep and into the callers
(common_nsleep, sys_nanosleep) in preparation for converting
compat_sys_nanosleep to use hrtimers.
