This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.

Remove the last few places where a pointer to pt_regs gets passed.
Also make sure we call set_irq_regs() before irq_enter() and after
irq_exit(). This doesn't fix anything but makes sure s390 looks the
same like all other architectures.

finish_arch_switch needs to update the user cpu time as well, not just the
system cpu time. Otherwise the partial user cpu time of a process that is
stored in the lowcore will be (mis-)accounted to the next process.

Remove timer_list.magic and associated debugging code.
I originally added this when a spinlock was added to timer_list - this meant
that an all-zeroes timer became illegal and init_timer() was required.
That spinlock isn't even there any more, although timer.base must now be
initialised.
I'll keep this debugging code in -mm.

Fix overflow in calculation of the new tod value in stop_hz_timer and fix
wrong virtual timer list idle time in case the virtual timer is already
expired in stop_cpu_timer.

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!
