From 65f8f9a1c1db831e5159e3e3e50912d1f214cd0c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Richard Cochran Date: Wed, 31 Oct 2012 06:27:25 +0000 Subject: time: remove the timecompare code. This patch removes the timecompare code from the kernel. The top five reasons to do this are: 1. There are no more users of this code. 2. The original idea was a bit weak. 3. The original author has disappeared. 4. The code was not general purpose but tuned to a particular hardware, 5. There are better ways to accomplish clock synchronization.
