[PATCH] hrtimers: optimize softirq runqueues
The hrtimer softirq is called from the timer softirq every tick. Retrieve the current time from xtime and wall_to_monotonic instead of calling base->get_time() for each timer base. Store the time in the base structure and provide a hook once clock source abstractions are in place and to keep the code open for new base clocks.
