[PATCH 10/10] -mm clocksource: add generic sched_clock()

[dwalker@mvista.com]

Adds a generic sched_clock, along with a boot time override for the
scheduler clocksource. Hopefully the config option would eventually 
be removed.

-/* Accellerators for sched_clock()
- * convert from cycles(64bits) => nanoseconds (64bits)
- *  basic equation:
- *		ns = cycles / (freq / ns_per_sec)
- *		ns = cycles * (ns_per_sec / freq)
- *		ns = cycles * (10^9 / (cpu_khz * 10^3))
- *		ns = cycles * (10^6 / cpu_khz)

- *		ns = cycles * (10^6 * SC / cpu_khz) / SC
- *		ns = cycles * cyc2ns_scale / SC
- *
- *	And since SC is a constant power of two, we can convert the div
- *  into a shift.
- *
- *  We can use khz divisor instead of mhz to keep a better percision, since
- *  cyc2ns_scale is limited to 10^6 * 2^10, which fits in 32 bits.
