Please don't use the +ssh address as that's only accessible for those who
have a k.org account.

     git://git.kernel.org/

is accessible for everyone.

Please start the subject line sentence with an uppercase letter.

The proper subsystem is 'time:' not 'include:'

At least it should be consistent..

'posix-timers:' please

'time:'

Bah. This lacks a subsystem, i.e. 'time:'

Ditto

>       nanosleep: change time types to safe __kernel_* types

Can you please fix that and send me an updated pull request?
