x86: Add structs and functions for paravirt clocksource
This patch adds structs for the paravirt clocksource ABI used by both xen and kvm (pvclock-abi.h). It also adds some helper functions to read system time and wall clock time from a paravirtual clocksource (pvclock.[ch]). They are based on the xen code. They are enabled using CONFIG_PARAVIRT_CLOCK. Subsequent patches of this series will put the code in use.

/*
|
||||
* These structs MUST NOT be changed.
|
||||
* They are the ABI between hypervisor and guest OS.
|
||||
* Both Xen and KVM are using this.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* pvclock_vcpu_time_info holds the system time and the tsc timestamp
|
||||
* of the last update. So the guest can use the tsc delta to get a
|
||||
* more precise system time. There is one per virtual cpu.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* pvclock_wall_clock references the point in time when the system
|
||||
* time was zero (usually boot time), thus the guest calculates the
|
||||
* current wall clock by adding the system time.
|
||||
*
|
||||
* Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making
|
||||
* it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again
|
||||
* (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the
|
||||
* time values it got are consistent by checking the version before
|
||||
* and after reading them.
