Cough... I must have missed something, but posix_cpu_timer_get()
doesn't look right with or without this trivial patch.

It doesn't initialize itp->it_value if cpu_timer_getexpires() == 0,
this means that sys_timer_gettime() will copy the uninitialized
cur_setting->it_value on the stack to userspace?
