The following patch series contains: - dyntick bugfixes for -mm (caused by the cpuidle changes in ACPI) - updates and improvements to high resolution timer / dynticks - high resolution timer / dynticks support for x86_64 The x86_64 support is based on an initial patch from Chris Wright. Thanks Chris ! The patch set has been tested in the -hrt and -rt trees for quite a while and the initial problems have been sorted out. Thanks to the folks from the PowerTop project for testing and feedback. The -hrt tree at http://www.tglx.de/projects/hrtimers/2.6.22-rc4/ contains also an hpet force patch series from Venki Pallipadi, but I leave this up to Venki to send it mainline wards. Thanks, tglx --
