Merge branch 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'timers-core-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  hrtimers: fix warning in kernel/hrtimer.c
  x86: make sure we really have an hpet mapping before using it
  x86: enable HPET on Fujitsu u9200
  linux/timex.h: cleanup for userspace
  posix-timers: simplify de_thread()->exit_itimers() path
  posix-timers: check ->it_signal instead of ->it_pid to validate the timer
  posix-timers: use "struct pid*" instead of "struct task_struct*"
  nohz: suppress needless timer reprogramming
  clocksource, acpi_pm.c: put acpi_pm_read_slow() under CONFIG_PCI
  nohz: no softirq pending warnings for offline cpus
  hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes, fix
  hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes, fix hotplug
  hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes
  x86: correct link to HPET timer specification
  rtc-cmos: export second NVRAM bank

Fixed up conflicts in sound/drivers/pcsp/pcsp.c and sound/core/hrtimer.c
manually.

          The HPET provides a stable time base on SMP
          systems, unlike the TSC, but it is more expensive to access,
          as it is off-chip.  You can find the HPET spec at
-         <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec.htm>.
+         <http://www.intel.com/hardwaredesign/hpetspec_1.pdf>.
 
          You can safely choose Y here.  However, HPET will only be
          activated if the platform and the BIOS support this feature.
