None of what's proposed is fixing the underlying problem of wreckaging
CLOCK_REALTIME.

Stop proliferating broken behaviour and please answer the questions I
asked several times now:

   1) Why has the TSC has to restart at the same value?

   2) What is the technical argument that it is correct and acceptable
      to wreckage CLOCK_REALTIME by doing #1?

Thanks,
