Subject: [GIT pull] timer fixes for 3.10

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


 * Correct an ordering issue in the tick broadcast code. I really wish
   we'd get compensation for pain and suffering for each line of code
   we write to work around disfunctional timer hardware.

Thanks,

	tglx
