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

* 'timers-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  timers, init: Limit the number of per cpu calibration bootup messages
  posix-cpu-timers: optimize and document timer_create callback
  clockevents: Add missing include to pacify sparse
  x86: vmiclock: Fix printk format
  x86: Fix printk format due to variable type change
  sparc: fix printk for change of variable type
  clocksource/events: Fix fallout of generic code changes
  nohz: Allow 32-bit machines to sleep for more than 2.15 seconds
  nohz: Track last do_timer() cpu
  nohz: Prevent clocksource wrapping during idle
  nohz: Type cast printk argument
  mips: Use generic mult/shift factor calculation for clocks
  clocksource: Provide a generic mult/shift factor calculation
  clockevents: Use u32 for mult and shift factors
  nohz: Introduce arch_needs_cpu
  nohz: Reuse ktime in sub-functions of tick_check_idle.
  time: Remove xtime_cache
  time: Implement logarithmic time accumulation
