nope still on track ... especially as it was Stephen's believe that orphans 
shouldn't even be usable to general clock users :-).

I just remember that the proposed general solution was based on Mike's 
upcoming generic critical clock handling (the handoff thingy), which would 
move critical clock handling out of architecture-specific code, so I've been 
prodding Mike mainly.

Another option might be to allow clock-controllers to handle orphans and only 
deny orphan usage to outside clock users, maybe expanding on what I did with 
the clock-conf part in patch2.
