[PATCH] tick-management: dyntick / highres functionality

With Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

Add functions to provide dynamic ticks and high resolution timers.  The code
which keeps track of jiffies and handles the long idle periods is shared
between tick based and high resolution timer based dynticks.  The dyntick
functionality can be disabled on the kernel commandline.  Provide also the
infrastructure to support high resolution timers.
