Implement high resolution timers on top of the hrtimers infrastructure and the
clockevents / tick-management framework. This provides accurate timers for
all hrtimer subsystem users.

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>
Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers. The code
which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared
between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks. The dyntick
functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline. Provide also the
infrastructure to support high resolution timers.
