Hey Daniel,
    So this looks like a strange pull request. You based it on 3.12-rc3
instead of the current tip/timers/core (which is what your submitting
this to). Unfortunately since the branch you pulled from me was based on
tip/timers/core, this pull request seems to be submitting items that are
already in tip/timers/core (like the changes from Prarit, Miroslav and
Zoran).

Does any of the changes here actually depend on 3.12-rc3? If not you
might just re-generate the branch against tip/timers/core, and you'll
end up with a much cleaner pull request.

thanks
