Merge branch 'timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: Documentation: Add timers/timers-howto.txt timer: Added usleep_range timer Revert "timer: Added usleep[_range] timer" clockevents: Remove the per cpu tick skew posix_timer: Move copy_to_user(created_timer_id) down in timer_create() timer: Added usleep[_range] timer timers: Document meaning of deferrable timer
