All right, I give up.  I dropped

clocksource-keep-track-of-original-clocksource-frequency.patch
clocksource-keep-track-of-original-clocksource-frequency-fix.patch
clocksource-introduce-clock_monotonic_raw.patch
clocksource-introduce-clock_monotonic_raw-fix.patch
clocksource-introduce-clock_monotonic_raw-fix-checkpatch-fixes.patch
clocksource-introduce-clocksource_forward_now.patch

Please someone resend everything from scratch when it's all sorted out.
