Subject: [2.6.16-mm1 patch] ignore timewarps
Date: Sat, 25 Mar 2006 07:18:50 +0100	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1143267530.9804.13.camel@homer> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1143263172.7930.15.camel@homer>

Greetings,

The patch below is a correction to patch 1 of my throttling tree series.

The only thing that really matters is that timewarps are ignored,
whatever the cause.  This patch does that, and only that.

	-Mike
