No, specifically not. If that were the case we wouldn't need the
cross-cpu synced timestamp. Things like load-balancing and
remote-wakeups need to update a remote CPUs clock.

Ah, good point, remote CPUs updating that will mess with the consistency
of the per-cpu timestamps due to non atomic updates :/
Bugger.. making them atomics will make it even more expensive. /me goes
ponder.
