I guess Kevin and I maintain it. It's not such a large piece of code.
The reason that it's not getting pushed hard at the moment is because
HRT is testing in -mm .. So we're at a limbo point when we can't move
the code to RMK, and it's not really appropriate for the code to go into
-mm .. We just have to wait till HRT gets shaken out in -mm .

The reason we are able to send the clocksource to RMK is cause generic
time went into the 2.6.18 stable release.

Yes, before HRT went to -mm. The reason that it was useful to send them
to Thomas was for our own testing, and progressing HRT at an early
point. I wouldn't have minded if the OMAP clockevents when into -mm ,
but I've never seen anything like that happen (i.e. non-i386 board
specific code going into -mm).
