Right, so what I was saying is that it doesn't make much sense to show "OFFSET: 0", and it's also confusing when nothing is shown on the older versions. Perhaps there could be a "NOW:" field, where you come up with per-timer-type algorithms to show a value that relates to the expires value? And while you're at it, can you please remove the "HRTIMER_BASES[]" and also clean up the unnecessary accessible() calls?
