      hrtimer: removing all ur callback modes · ca109491

      Impact: cleanup, move all hrtimer processing into hardirq context
      
      This is an attempt at removing some of the hrtimer complexity by
      reducing the number of callback modes to 1.
      
      This means that all hrtimer callback functions will be ran from HARD-irq
      context.
      
      I went through all the 30 odd hrtimer callback functions in the kernel
      and saw only one that I'm not quite sure of, which is the one in
      net/can/bcm.c - hence I'm CC-ing the folks responsible for that code.
      
      Furthermore, the hrtimer core now calls callbacks directly with IRQs
      disabled in case you try to enqueue an expired timer. If this timer is a
      periodic timer (which should use hrtimer_forward() to advance its time)
      then it might be possible to end up in an inf. recursive loop due to the
      fact that hrtimer_forward() doesn't round up to the next timer
      granularity, and therefore keeps on calling the callback - obviously
      this needs a fix.
      
      Aside from that, this seems to compile and actually boot on my dual core
      test box - although I'm sure there are some bugs in, me not hitting any
      makes me certain :-)
