Richard, are you planning on taking another go at those changes? Or
were my last suggestions just too daft? ;)
I wonder if it is really worth the effort to fix up adjtimex.

But I am strongly in favor of adding CLOCK_TAI, since that would be
easy to add (as you showed), is free from the tick issue, and would be
really useful for Test and Measurement style applications
I've got the CLOCK_TAI patches queued for 3.6. I should send them to -tip soon here.

thanks
