Thomas Gleixner, John Stultz, I'm getting close to pulling this series in through arm-soc. Would you prefer to take the clocksource patches through your tree, or provide an Acked-by and I can take them through mvebu/arm-soc?
I'm comfortable with either, if you decide to take them, please let me know which tree and branch you put them in so I can properly depend on them. thx, Jason.
