Agreed, this patch is better than mine (and thanks for your
explanation about CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW).

I am not sure about -EOPNOTSUPP. To clarify, I do not claim this
is wrong, I just do not know.

But please note that sys_timer_create() does:

	if (invalid_clockid(which_clock))
		return -EINVAL;

And ltp's timer_create04.c expects timer_create(MAX_CLOCKS == 4)
returns -EINVAL.
