Ah, patch "tracing: Add unstable sched clock note to the warning"
referenced sched_clock_stable without encompassing it with:

#ifdef CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK

I wonder if we could instead in linux/sched.h add in the ifndef part:

#define sched_clock_stable 1

That way generic code can still reference this variable without having
to litter the code with #ifdef's.

Thoughts?
