Subject: [RFC PATCH 0/3] posix_cpu_timers: Some code consolidation

Hi,

Some interesting consolidation comes when we unify the expiry
time type.

I'm also wondering: can't we implement CPUCLOCK_PROF using CPUCLOCK_SCHED?
One is using the tick, the other is using the sched. But they both seem
to account the same thing: utime + stime.

Thanks.
