I don't know if there is or not. There is similar code in DCCP. I
think the way forward is to use hrtimers
(http://lwn.net/Articles/167897/) as there are currently problems with
NTP changing time which affects jiffies. In the meantime this patch
makes the code a little bit tidier so I think it should go in...
