Cover letter [RFC][PATCH 0/3] sched: skip_clock_update madness

Hi,

So the big lockup thread got me looking at the skip_clock_update stuff again and here's what I came up with.

It seems to build a kernel without generating lockdep splats.

Mike can you see if it cures the wobblies you were seeing?
