As I truly understand, you decided - flags is better than new clockids, and

NO, NO, NO, NO. There is no mix of timer_list and hrtimer. Either we
add proper deferrable support to hrtimers or the whole thing is not
going to happen at all. There is no way that we bring back timer_list
to user space interfaces. Period.

Thanks,

Ok, thank you, I'll work with you patch for hrtimers, and I'll rework current patch set.
