No. This is not sufficient justification for applying a patch. We should not
be accepting patches just because they exist.
If a feature[1] is important enough that we need to implement it, then it
should also warrant getting a good solution. Otherwise we're going to end up
in exactly the same situation next time someone starts using a nwew
timesource.

[1] Time-drift hacks are a new *feature*, not a bugfix. At best they're hiding
more fundamental flaws, e.g. kvm being incapable of emulating realtime
behavior.
