[Bug libc/220] IA64: return EINVAL if ITC is an unreliable time source on clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_TIMEID)

Subject: Re:  IA64: return EINVAL if ITC is an unreliable time
 source on clock_gettime(CLOCK_PROCESS_TIMEID)

I thought this was the reason behind it but it would have been good to
have this clarificatione earlier. I have submitted a change to the
manpage for clock_gettime to explain the need to call clock_getcpuclockid
and the difficulties with the use of CPU timer registers in SMP settings
last Friday.
