Looks good to me, thanks--applying for 2.6.37.

(Apologies for the delay--partly due to my getting fed up with not
understanding time, and feeling I should go read some code.  Resulting
notes at http://fieldses.org/~bfields/kernel/time.txt.

The only thing I noticed was that the timekeeping code consistently uses
the word "monotonic" on functions that return something slightly
different; seconds_since_boot() might be a better name.

Oh, and

	get_seconds() - monotonic_seconds()

isn't the most intuitive way possible to say "boot time in seconds".  If
you want to fix either of those, fine, otherwise no big deal.)
