Please read the patch. I didn't touch timespec_to_jiffies() or timeval_to_jiffies(). Not sure why you think I did. I agree that we only need the initial time, my patch is no good. But it is hard for non-itimers, like schedule_timeout() callers, to provide an interface that only adds 1 to the initial request, since the callers currently pass in an absolute jiffies value.
