Thanks for these patches. I've applied. Note that I do like to get
patches inline, for review purposes (and you can attach them also, if
you are worried about mailers breaking something).

Thanks also for including the commit hashes. I think the CLOCK_BOOTIME
has should however be 70a08cca1227dc31c784ec930099a4417a06e7d0 and I
amended accordingly.

Cheers,

Michael
