From 8cadd2831bf3abc94f4530e7fdbab7bb39b6b27d Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Jesse Barnes Date: Mon, 10 May 2010 14:26:20 -0700 Subject: timer: add on-stack deferrable timer interfaces In some cases (for instance with kernel threads) it may be desireable to use on-stack deferrable timers to get their power saving benefits. Add interfaces to support this for the IPS driver.
