POSIX High Resolution Timers in LinuxPPC 2.4

[Martin, Tim]

Could someone give me a brief history lesson on POSIX high resolution timers
(e.g. timer_create() function) implemented in the Linux kernel on the
PowerPC 405 architecture?  Specifically:

 

Confirm they are in the mainline 2.6 kernel now (e.g. kernel.org)?

 

Were they ever a part of the "mainline" 2.4 linuxppc kernel (e.g
ppc.bkbits.net)?

 

If no, were they ever available as a patch? The stuff at
sourceforge.net/projects/high-res-timers stops at 2.4.20 and looks like it
was only ever working for i386, not ppc.
