No. This is not sufficient justification for applying a patch. We should not 
be accepting patches just because they exist.

If a feature[1] is important enough that we need to implement it, then it 
should also warrant getting a good solution. Otherwise we're going to end up 
in exactly the same situation next time someone starts using a nwew 
timesource.

[1] Time-drift hacks are a new *feature*, not a bugfix. At best they're hiding 
more fundamental flaws, e.g. kvm being incapable of emulating realtime 
behavior.
