Merge branch 'timers-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'timers-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: hrtimer: prevent negative expiry value after clock_was_set() hrtimers: allow the hot-unplugging of all cpus hrtimers: increase clock min delta threshold while interrupt hanging
