[Cyrill Gorcunov]

ioctl(2)
	The following commands are supported: TFD_IOC_SET_TICKS to adjust
	the number of the timer expirations that have occurred.
	It take a pointer to nonzero 8-byte integer (uint64_t*) containing
	new number of expirations. Once the number is set any waiter on
	the timer is woken up. The only purpose of this command is to restore
	the expirations in a sake of checkpoint/restore procedure.
	It requires the kernel to be built with CONFIG_CHECKPOINT_RESTORE
	support.
