I want a sane interface to get notified about changes to the time which I asked the kernel to manage for me while I'm sleeping. The interface in this patch does exactly that, in a very nice way. If you think that needs to change, please discuss/provide alternatives, which we can check if they sufficiently work for us, like we did with this patch. But please stop rhetorically asking me if I want a slower kernel, and chance your tone. That will get us nowhere.
