I agree that it is not practically required.

Please, can you clarify, if packed timespec format
is used for both queues

  PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_RELATIVE,
  PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_ABSOLUTE,

(my initial reading is that they use different
encoding) and if PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_RELATIVE can be
considered as CLOCK_MONOTONIC and real time clocks
corrections go only to PER_CPU_WATCHDOG_ABSOLUTE.

Best wishes,

              Pavel
