Subject: [PATCH 1/6] [RFC] posix clocks: dynamic clock ids.
From: Richard Cochran <richardcochran@...il.com>
This patch augments the POSIX clock code to offer a dynamic clock
creation method. Instead of registering a hard coded clock ID, modules
may call create_posix_clock(), which returns a new clock ID.
Signed-off-by: Richard Cochran <richard.cochran@...cron.at>
This patch still has un-addressed lifetime issues pointed out by
Alan Cox. More work is needed here, but for now this provides the
functionality needed for the following patches.
