Yeah, right, independent.  Looks more to me as "committed ahead of hte
merge".

The thing is, netbsd32_get_ntptime is changed in the timecounters
branch.  I don't know how far we are from the merge, but is there a
point of doing any change now that will have to be undone in the branch
and re-done in some way for when the branch is ready to merge?

I wish good luck to Frank and Simon for the next sync with HEAD, anyway.
