Only in timerfd_create?  Not in clock_gettime?  If you don't
do that, you're using a different clock with entirely different
values for the starttime.

Actually, this testcase started with CLOCK_REALTIME in both calls.
If I revert to that, I get:

)$ ./timerfd 3 1 10
0.000: timer started 644
3.001: 644 read: 1; total=3D1
4.001: 644 read: 1; total=3D2
5.017: 644 read: 1; total=3D3
6.001: 644 read: 1; total=3D4
7.001: 644 read: 1; total=3D5
8.009: 644 read: 1; total=3D6
9.002: 644 read: 1; total=3D7
10.001: 644 read: 1; total=3D8
11.010: 644 read: 1; total=3D9
12.017: 644 read: 1; total=3D10

I tested this STC with differnt clocks, but it's important to
use the same cloack for clock_gettime and timerfd_create.
