SubjectRe: [PATCH] group xtime, xtime_lock, wall_to_monotonic, avenrun, calc_load_count fields together in ktimed

Hi Andrew, thanks for your comments.

I sent two patches for the __attribute__((weak)) xtime_lock thing, and
calc_load() optimization, which dont depend on ktimed.

Should I now send patches for aggregating things or is it considered too
intrusive ? (Sorry if I didnt understand your last sentence)

If yes, should I send separate patches to :

1) define an empty ktimed (or with a placeholder for jiffies64, not yet used)
2) move xtime into ktimed
3) move xtime_lock into ktimed
4) move wall_to_monotonic into ktimed
5) move calc_load.count into ktimed
6) move avenrun into ktimed.
7) patches to use ktimed.jiffies64 on various arches (with the problem of
aliasing jiffies)

Thank you
Eric
