Ah, good. I have to admit that I'd probably make the same mistake
again if I was to do this for another driver and you hadn't sent
the fix. The hrtimer_set_expires_range() function just looked like
it had been designed for the use case I was interested in ;-).

Any idea how to prevent the next person from making the same mistake?
