Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources. This
allows us to share the callback between multiple instances.[hugh@veritas.com: fix powerpc build of clocksource pass clocksource mods]

We are getting rid of subarchitecture support - move the hook files
to asm/. (These are now stale and should be replaced with more explicit
runtime mechanisms - but the transition is simpler this way.)Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar

This patch resolves the issue found here:
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=7426The basic summary is:
Currently we register most of i386/x86_64 clocksources at module_init
time. Then we enable clocksource selection at late_initcall time. This
causes some problems for drivers that use gettimeofday for init
calibration routines (specifically the es1968 driver in this case),
where durring module_init, the only clocksource available is the low-res
jiffies clocksource. This may cause slight calibration errors, due to
the small sampling time used.It should be noted that drivers that require fine grained time may not
function on architectures that do not have better then jiffies
resolution timekeeping (there are a few). However, this does not
discount the reasonable need for such fine-grained timekeeping at init
time.Thus the solution here is to register clocksources earlier (ideally when
the hardware is being initialized), and then we enable clocksource
selection at fs_initcall (before device_initcall).This patch should probably get some testing time in -mm, since
clocksource selection is one of the most important issues for correct
timekeeping, and I've only been able to test this on a few of my own
boxes.Signed-off-by: John Stultz

Add a CLOCKSOURCE_MASK macro to simplify initializing the mask for a struct

As suggested by Roman Zippel, change clocksource functions to use
clocksource_xyz rather then xyz_clocksource to avoid polluting the

Implement the time sources for i386 (acpi_pm, cyclone, hpet, pit, and tsc).
With this patch, the conversion of the i386 arch to the generic timekeeping
code should be complete.The patch should be fairly straight forward, only adding the new clocksources.
