I wonder if GCC 4.3 is trying to optimize this loop into a divide/remainder?
If so, then it is time to give the gcc developers a little talking to.


static inline void timespec_add_ns(struct timespec *a, u64 ns)
{
	ns += a->tv_nsec;
	while(unlikely(ns >= NSEC_PER_SEC)) {
		ns -= NSEC_PER_SEC;
		a->tv_sec++;
	}
	a->tv_nsec = ns;
}
