Merge branch 'timers-for-linus-migration' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip
* 'timers-for-linus-migration' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip: timers: Logic to move non pinned timers timers: /proc/sys sysctl hook to enable timer migration timers: Identifying the existing pinned timers timers: Framework for identifying pinned timers timers: allow deferrable timers for intervals tv2-tv5 to be deferred Fix up conflicts in kernel/sched.c and kernel/timer.c manually
