timer oops still present in 2.5.41-mm2

[Dave Hansen <haveblue@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Ingo, I hate to keep giving you false hope that this is fixed.  But, 
remember this is just -mm2, so any current BK fixes that change it 
wouldn't be in here, including the keyboard timer fixes that you were 
talking about.

Andrew, I noticed that you picked up Ingo's timer fix in 2.5.41-mm2 as
timer-tricks.patch.  Despite this, Specweb ran for about 10 minutes 
on, then failed with the oops below.  2.5.41, without Ingo's patch 
oopses in seconds.  It's very hard to get results out of Specweb when 
it is crashing this often.

Could a misbehaving timer be causing the TCP errors too?  I'd never 
seen them before 2.5.40.  I don't know how closely the TCP errors 
occurred to the timer oops.
