The assumption that the CLOCK_REALTIME/MONOTONIC relationship is valid

Well, it is until it isn't. There really does need to be a paring of some
sort to sort out the ABS flag.
How is this applicable to some additional non posix clocks ? It applies
to CLOCK_MONOTONIC and CLOCK_REALTIME, but nothing speaks against
implementing CLOCK_WHATEVER with a totally different behaviour vs. the
ABS_TIME flag. Am I missing something ?
How ever it is done the selection of a base depends on the mode and the
clock. I suggested mapping this via
odd/ even, but, I think what is needed is some way to code this into
hrtimer.c in a reasonable way. Your choice, really.
