At the moment we wrap GENERIC_TIME around our existing timer API.
As boards start providing their own clocksources, they're able to
select GENERIC_TIME accordingly and optimize out most of the timer
API.
Once the current timers have been reworked as proper clocksource
drivers, the rest of the place holders for the timer API can go
away and we can flip on GENERIC_TIME unconditionally.

generic__raw_read_trylock() was broken, fix up the __raw_read_trylock()
implementation for something sensible. Taken from m32r, which has the
same use cases.

In some places, particularly drivers and __init code, the init utsns is the
appropriate one to use. This patch replaces those with a the init_utsname
helper.
Changes: Removed several uses of init_utsname(). Hope I picked all the
right ones in net/ipv4/ipconfig.c. These are now changed to
utsname() (the per-process namespace utsname) in the previous
patch (2/7)

On systems running with virtual cpus there is optimization potential in
regard to spinlocks and rw-locks. If the virtual cpu that has taken a lock
is known to a cpu that wants to acquire the same lock it is beneficial to
yield the timeslice of the virtual cpu in favour of the cpu that has the
lock (directed yield).
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="n" this can be implemented by the architecture without
common code changes. Powerpc already does this.
With CONFIG_PREEMPT="y" the lock loops are coded with _raw_spin_trylock,
_raw_read_trylock and _raw_write_trylock in kernel/spinlock.c. If the lock
could not be taken cpu_relax is called. A directed yield is not possible
because cpu_relax doesn't know anything about the lock. To be able to
yield the lock in favour of the current lock holder variants of cpu_relax
for spinlocks and rw-locks are needed. The new _raw_spin_relax,
_raw_read_relax and _raw_write_relax primitives differ from cpu_relax
insofar that they have an argument: a pointer to the lock structure.

This implements initial support for the vsyscall page on SH.
At the moment we leave it configurable due to having nommu
to support from the same code base. We hook it up for the
signal trampoline return at present, with more to be added
later, once uClibc catches up.
