For powerpc with CONFIG_VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING
jiffies_to_cputime(1) is not compile time constant and run time
calculations are quite expensive. To optimize we use
precomputed value. For all other architectures is is
preprocessor definition.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:

1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>

2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.

3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.

This patch implements VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING for ia64,
which enable us to use more accurate cpu time accounting.

The VIRT_CPU_ACCOUNTING is an item of kernel config, which s390
and powerpc arch have.  By turning this config on, these archs
change the mechanism of cpu time accounting from tick-sampling
based one to state-transition based one.

The state-transition based accounting is done by checking time
(cycle counter in processor) at every state-transition point,
such as entrance/exit of kernel, interrupt, softirq etc.
The difference between point to point is the actual time consumed
during in the state. There is no doubt about that this value is
more accurate than that of tick-sampling based accounting.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
