The clocksource code allows direct updates of the rating of a given
clocksource now.  Change TSC unstable tracking to use this interface and
remove the update callback.

Using a flag filed allows to encode more than one information into a variable.
Preparatory patch for the generic clocksource verification.

Enqueue clocksources in rating order to make selection of the clocksource
easier.  Also check the match with an user override at enqueue time.

Mostly changing alignment.  Just some general cleanup.

This fixes the clock source updates in update_wall_time() to correctly
track the time coming in via current_tick_length().  Optimize the fast
paths to be as short as possible to keep the overhead low.

Add a CLOCKSOURCE_MASK macro to simplify initializing the mask for a struct

As suggested by Roman Zippel, change clocksource functions to use
clocksource_xyz rather then xyz_clocksource to avoid polluting the
namespace.

Instead of incrementing xtime by tick_nsec + ntp adjustments, use the
clocksource abstraction to increment and scale time.  Using the clocksource
abstraction allows other clocksources to be used consistently in the face of
late or lost ticks, while preserving the existing behavior via the jiffies
clocksource.

This removes the need to keep time_phase adjustments as we just use the
current_tick_length() function as the NTP interface and accumulate time using
shifted nanoseconds.

The basics of this design was by Roman Zippel, however it is my own
interpretation and implementation, so the credit should go to him and the
blame to me.

This introduces the clocksource management infrastructure.  A clocksource is a
driver-like architecture generic abstraction of a free-running counter.  This
code defines the clocksource structure, and provides management code for
registering, selecting, accessing and scaling clocksources.

Additionally, this includes the trivial jiffies clocksource, a lowest common
denominator clocksource, provided mainly for use as an example.
