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.

| 7 | * They are the ABI between hypervisor and guest OS. | ||

| 9 | * | ||
| 10 | * pvclock_vcpu_time_info holds the system time and the tsc timestamp | ||
| 11 | * of the last update. So the guest can use the tsc delta to get a | ||
| 12 | * more precise system time. There is one per virtual cpu. | ||
| 13 | * | ||
| 14 | * pvclock_wall_clock references the point in time when the system | ||
| 15 | * time was zero (usually boot time), thus the guest calculates the | ||
| 16 | * current wall clock by adding the system time. | ||
| 17 | * | ||
| 18 | * Protocol for the "version" fields is: hypervisor raises it (making | ||
| 19 | * it uneven) before it starts updating the fields and raises it again | ||
| 20 | * (making it even) when it is done. Thus the guest can make sure the | ||
| 21 | * time values it got are consistent by checking the version before | ||
| 22 | * and after reading them. | ||
