All,
    Attached is a patch from Prarit Bhargava, who is not subscribed to the list
(but CC'ed).  His description follows:

Add "Warning" to the "Time went backwards" message.

Most QA groups (if not all) grep for specific messages in the syslog such as
"Error", "Warning", "Oops".

Time went backwards is a key error which can result in system instability.
