this list (Linux-API) focus on adding new API to the linux platform. So perhaps this one about timing may get you started: http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-api/msg02243.html or in general: https://www.google.com.sg/search?q=site%3Awww.spinics.net%2Flists%2Flinux-ap...

the DELAYTIMER_MAX is for realtime POSIX.
but Linux is based on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linux_Standard_Base, which is LSB.
There is no direct mapping between LSB and POSIX, but perhaps this:

and
http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/timer_gettime.html
Look carefully between the two and you can perhaps find the balancing point u will need for implementing this feature.
Thanks for the explanation. I was just looking at bugs in bugzilla that I could actually reproduce. I'm just getting started with kernel programming and am looking for bugs I can observe.
