This removes the support for pps. It's completely unused within the kernel
and is basically in the way for further cleanups. It should be easier to
readd proper support for it after the rest has been converted to NTP4
(where the pps mechanisms are quite different from NTP3 anyway).

This provides an interface for arch code to find out how many
nanoseconds are going to be added on to xtime by the next call to
do_timer. The value returned is a fixed-point number in 52.12 format
in nanoseconds. The reason for this format is that it gives the
full precision that the timekeeping code is using internally.
The motivation for this is to fix a problem that has arisen on 32-bit
powerpc in that the value returned by do_gettimeofday drifts apart
from xtime if NTP is being used. PowerPC is now using a lockless
do_gettimeofday based on reading the timebase register and performing
some simple arithmetic. (This method of getting the time is also
exported to userspace via the VDSO.) However, the factor and offset
it uses were calculated based on the nominal tick length and weren't
being adjusted when NTP varied the tick length.
Note that 64-bit powerpc has had the lockless do_gettimeofday for a
long time now. It also had an extremely hairy routine that got called
from the 32-bit compat routine for adjtimex, which adjusted the
factor and offset according to what it thought the timekeeping code
was going to do. Not only was this only called if a 32-bit task did
adjtimex (i.e. not if a 64-bit task did adjtimex), it was also
duplicating computations from kernel/timer.c and it wasn't clear that
it was (still) correct.
The simple solution is to ask the timekeeping code how long the
current jiffy will be on each timer interrupt, after calling
do_timer. If this jiffy will be a different length from the last one,
we then need to compute new values for the factor and offset used in
the lockless do_gettimeofday. In this way we can keep xtime and
do_gettimeofday in sync, even when NTP is varying the tick length.
Note that when adjtimex varies the tick length, it almost always
introduces the variation from the next tick on. The only case I could
see where adjtimex would vary the length of the current tick is when
an old-style adjtime adjustment is being cancelled. (It's not clear
to me why the adjustment has to be cancelled immediately rather than
from the next tick on.) Thus I don't see any real need for a hook in
adjtimex; the rare case of an old-style adjustment being cancelled can
be fixed up at the next tick.

Create a macro shift_right() that avoids the numerous ugly conditionals in the
NTP code that look like:
if(a < 0)
b = -(-a >> shift);
else
b = a >> shift;
Replacing it with:
b = shift_right(a, shift);
This should have zero effect on the logic, however it should probably have
a bit of testing just to be sure.
Also replace open-coded min/max with the macros.

This patch cleans up a commonly repeated set of changes to the NTP state
variables by adding two helper inline functions:
ntp_clear(): Clears the ntp state variables
ntp_synced(): Returns 1 if the system is synced with a time server.
This was compile tested for alpha, arm, i386, x86-64, ppc64, s390, sparc,
sparc64.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
