reading the specs:

http://pubs.opengroup.org/onlinepubs/7908799/xsh/timer_gettime.html

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:

http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man7/time.7.html

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.

whether it is a kernel bug, or userspace bug is therefore highly
controversial.
