Ah, OK.  So there's not really a fundamental issue (which I was worried about),
more just it hasn't been implemented all the way.  Interestingly, it doesn't
seem to be explicitly disabled in the LKML pv_ops implementation, so either it's
being updated properly there, or time is *way* off.

Thanks for the info.
