This is just one of the 3 patches posted by John Stultz on
http://git.linaro.org/people/john.stultz/linux.git/shortlog/refs/heads/stable/3.4/timefix

The other 2 are backports of 6fdda9a9c5db367130cf32df5d6618d08b89f46a
(timekeeping: Avoid possible deadlock from clock_was_set_delayed) and
ec145babe754f9ea1079034a108104b6001e001c (timekeeping: fix 32-bit
overflow in get_monotonic_boottime)

Could you explain why there were not included? Are you simply planning
to include these in 3.4.80?

Sorry if this was discussed somewhere but the original thread does not
say when/if they are going to be included in 3.4. If this information
is somewhere else, could you just point me to the discussion?

Thanks in advance for your help,

Guillaume.
