And those cleanups make the compiler generate worse code at least on
x86_64:

text data bss dec hex filename
7475 554 0 8029 1f5d kernel/hrtimer.o
7706 554 0 8260 2044 kernel/hrtimer.o

So just removing parameters and return values because you can get the
same information from a datastructure is not necessarily a good thing.

Thanks,
