Nico,

I encourage you *not* to back down like this.  Linus is right in so far
as the regressions issue, but he is *totally* wrong to do the revert,
which IMHO has been done out of nothing more than spite.

Either *with or without* the revert, the issue still remains, and needs
to be addressed properly.

With the revert in place, we now have insanely small bogomips values
reported via /proc/cpuinfo when hardware timers are used.  That needs
fixing.
