Subject: [GIT pull] timer fixes for 3.9

Linus,

please pull the latest timers-urgent-for-linus git tree from:

   git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip.git timers-urgent-for-linus

A single bugfix which prevents that a non functional timer device is
selected to provide the fallback device, which is supposed to serve
timer interrupts on behalf of non functional devices ...

Thanks,

	tglx
