i addressed this when you first raised this issue (back in the ktimers
flamewars), and generally the feeling of people i asked was that doing
the container_of() approach is less readable than an explicit 'data'
field. It also deviates from struct timer_list, which we wanted to stay
close to. Furthermore, for standalone hrtimers this creates the need to
generate a wrapper structure. So i dont really like this change - but no
strong feelings either way.
