Would be nice to have before feature freeze, but most likely 2.7:
o High resolution timersthis has been done for almost a year now, what is holding it up?
I don't know, but it's about time. George Anziger should know.
George,
Have you submitted a high-resolution-timers patch to Linux for 2.5? I seem to recall he didn't like the patch when he first saw it, but that was so long ago presumably it's much cleaner now?

That was really a very different patch. The hang up has been time to work on the code. There are a few, minor, changes, like eliminating nanosleep() (it should call clock_nanosleep()), and then the code clean up to remove all the debug cruft.
The next bit I want to submit is the changes to the timer queue to allow subjiffie timers...
I am hoping to convince my boss to allow me to work on this full time so I can make some real progress. As always, any help will be gratefully accepted :)
