Are you referring to the CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW fix for the arm64 vDSO ?
I think that CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW in VDSO wasn't backported to 4.4.y
(commit 49eea433b326 in mainline) so this "fix" is changing the
timekeeping sauce (that would fix MONOTONIC RAW) but not for 4.4.y in
ARM64. Needs review though :\
