Merge branch 'timers-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip

Pull timer updates from Thomas Gleixner:

 - The final conversion of timer wheel timers to timer_setup().

   A few manual conversions and a large coccinelle assisted sweep and
   the removal of the old initialization mechanisms and the related
   code.

 - Remove the now unused VSYSCALL update code

 - Fix permissions of /proc/timer_list. I still need to get rid of that
   file completely

 - Rename a misnomed clocksource function and remove a stale declaration
