So the next patch does:

if (mode == NOHZ_MODE_HIGHRES)
    ts->sched_timer.function = tick_nohz_highres_handler;

Because that condition only happens in CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS anyway
and the function field exists in any case.

I can move that to the current patch though.

Hmm, indeed hrtimer_start_range_ns() called by hrtimer_start_expires()
is only defined if CONFIG_HIGH_RES_TIMERS=y. I'll resend.

Thanks.
