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.
