I'm afraid this patch is terminally broken - I managed to make this fall
over pretty easily (hint to self: __hrtimer_get_next_event needs some
serious thoughts to deal with MONOTONIC_RAW, and so does hrtimer_forward
at the very least).

Can you please drop (or revert):

a6e707d KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Switch to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
9006a01 hrtimer: Catch illegal clockids
9c80876 hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

Thanks, and sorry for the noise.

	M.

hrtimer: Revert CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW support

Revert commits:
a6e707ddbdf1: KVM: arm/arm64: timer: Switch to CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW
9006a01829a5: hrtimer: Catch illegal clockids
9c808765e88e: hrtimer: Add support for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW

Marc found out, that there are fundamental issues with that patch series
because __hrtimer_get_next_event() and hrtimer_forward() need support for
CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW. Nothing which is easily fixed, so revert the whole lot.
