Subject: [PATCH net-2.6.26] CAN: use hrtimers in can-bcm protocol

From: Oliver Hartkopp <oliver@...tkopp.net>

Make use of hrtimers to support high resolution capabilities, when 
provided by the system clocksource.

The conversion to hrtimers additionally discovered and solved an 
unlikely race condition that has been reproduced under (unrealistic) 
massive receive load, which can only be produced on vcan software devices.
