[GIT PULL] Alarmtimers items for 3.2

[john stultz]

Hey Thomas, 
	Just wanted to get the alarmtimer rework to better match the hrtimer
code as well as some alarmtimer cleanups queued into -tip for 3.2.

Let me know if you have any thoughts or issues with these patches.

thanks
-john

They are in tip/timers/core and next already :)

FYI, I fixed up the error handling code with the following commit:

commit 4523f6ada86853750565c68e17126af2e3df9b8a
Author: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>
Date:   Wed Sep 14 10:54:29 2011 +0200

    alarmtimers: Fix error handling
    
    commit 8bc0daf (alarmtimers: Rework RTC device selection using class
    interface) did not implement required error checks. Add them.
