+ * lookup combined with a global lock, rather than the static array, hash
+ * and per-CPU locking which is used by timer_stats. It was written for the
+ * pre hrtimer kernel code and therefore did not take hrtimers into account.
+ * Nevertheless it provided the base for the timer_stats implementation and
+ * was a helpful source of inspiration. Kudos to Daniel and the Nokia folks
