John Stultz <john.stultz at linaro.org> has put together a 2 patch set to
address the leapsecond bug that was encountered this past weekend by
some sites.

This set has had some testing by a few people. This patch set has not
yet been submitted upstream. John did the work to backport these
patches for Lucid and newer kernels.

The following mailing list thread covers this patch set and the discussions
around them:
