So all that happens is timer granularity drops to 10ms, then gets 
restored by the later patches?

I doubt that would be a large enough regression to matter for bisection, 
but the way you reuse the arch_gettimeoffset() code for the new 
read_clock() functions makes reordering of this patch to the end of the 
series impossible.

Best you can don, under the circumstances.
