Merge branch 'timers-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip

* 'timers-fixes-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
  timers: handle HRTIMER_CB_IRQSAFE_UNLOCKED correctly from softirq context
  nohz: disable tick_nohz_kick_tick() for now
  irq: call __irq_enter() before calling the tick_idle_check
  x86: HPET: enter hpet_interrupt_handler with interrupts disabled
  x86: HPET: read from HPET_Tn_CMP() not HPET_T0_CMP
  x86: HPET: convert WARN_ON to WARN_ON_ONCE
