Well, be forewarned that with this patch, MIPS kernel now only has
jiffy-precise time resolution. I.e. you could have killed all gettimeoffset
handlers I suppose since there's nothing to call them from anymore. We need a
clocksource patch added now to restore the old functionality (it's currently a
part of the RT patch)...
WBR, Sergei

After the other broken time patch it was most important to get the
kernel buildable again. We can still sort out the clock source.

This topic was raised on LKML a month ago.

If you just wanted to fix the "undefined reference problem", replacing
"tickadj" with 500 (max ntp adjustment time) would be enough.
Of course, MIPS clock source would be preferred if it is available soon.
