I have two more very general comments about the series:
a) something has gone wrong with your submission in v2 and v3 but was
working earlier: normally all emails should be sent by git-send-email
as replies to the [patch 00/22] mail. This is the default, and it
is enabled by the '--thread --no-chain-reply' options. Please try
to get this to work again.
b) it would be better to have a little shorter subject lines, to avoid
line-wrapping in the list above. Here are some examples what you could
use to replace the lines above:
timekeeping: introduce struct itimerspec64
timekeeping: introduce current_kernel_time64()
hrtimer: introduce hrtimer_get_res64()
posix-timers: split up sys_timer_gettime()
posix-timers: convert timer_gettime() to timespec64
In general, try to come up with the shortest description that
uniquely describes what your patch does, and move any details into
the longer patch description.
