Subject[PATCH 2/3] hrtimer: make the nanosleep() syscall use the per process slack

From: Arjan van de Ven <arjan@linux.intel.com>
Subject: [PATCH] hrtimer: make the nanosleep() syscall use the per process slack

This patch makes the nanosleep() system call use the per process
slack value; with this users are able to externally control existing
applications to reduce the wakeup rate.
