All,
	Here is the second of two patches which try to minimize my ntp rework
patches.
	
This patch further changes the interrupt time NTP code, breaking out the
leapsecond processing and introduces an accessor to a shifted ppm

In a discusson aroung the leapsecond and how to disable it (some folks don't want the time jump) it came to light that, for the most part, this is unused code. It requires that time be kept in UST to be useful and, from what I can tell, most folks keep time in their local timezone, thus, effectively, disableing the usage of the leapsecond correction (ntp figures this out and just says "no"). Possibly it is time to ask if we should keep this in the kernel at all.
