I tried this patch and in principle this works. In that regard
Acked-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

But I wonder if the loop to check the update counter is really
necessary. The hrtimer_resolution value can only changes once with
the first call to hrtimer_switch_to_hres(). With the TOD clock
as the only clock available on s390 we always have the ability
to do hrtimer. It then all depends on the highres=[on|off] kernel
parameter what value we get with clock_getres().
