In earlier versions I had logic to prevent switching during runtime.  tglx
requested that it be removed and I removed it.  Personally I fall into the "I'm
going to set it once and never change it" however, as Mark will offer there are
cases where it might be advantageous to change the timestamp.  I think he has a
patch that will append a b/r/etc. to the timestamp so that userspace can
interpret the different timestamps.
