The type casts are no longer needed after some small changes
in struct qemu_alarm_timer. This also improves readability
of the code.

The previous patch however is not enough, because if the virtual CPU
goes to sleep waiting for a future timer interrupt to wake it up, qemu
deadlocks. The timer interrupt never comes because time is driven by
icount, but the vCPU doesn't run any insns.
You could say that VCPUs should never go to sleep in icount
mode if there is a pending vm_clock timer; rather time should
just warp to the next vm_clock event with no sleep ever taking place.
Even better, you can sleep for some time related to the
time left until the next event, to avoid that the warps are too visible
externally; for example, you could be sending network packets continously
instead of every 100ms.
This is what this patch implements. qemu_clock_warp is called: 1)
whenever a vm_clock timer is adjusted, to ensure the warp_timer is
synchronized; 2) at strategic points in the CPU thread, to make sure
the insn counter is synchronized before the CPU starts running.
In any case, the warp_timer is disabled while the CPU is running,
because the insn counter will then be making progress on its own.

These patches are already not doing a great service to out-of-tree
modifications to QEMU. However, at least we can warn them by getting
rid of the old confusing functions, or otherwise causing compilation
errors. This patch removes qemu_get_clock; the previous one changed
qemu_new_timer's signature.

This enables rt_clock timers to use nanosecond resolution, just by
using the _ns functions; there is really no reason to forbid that.
Migrated timers are all using vm_clock (of course; but I checked that
anyway) so the timers in the savevm files are already in nanosecond
resolution. So this patch makes no change to the migration format.

This was done with:
sed -i 's/qemu_get_clock\>/qemu_get_clock_ns/' \
$(git grep -l 'qemu_get_clock\>' )
sed -i 's/qemu_new_timer\>/qemu_new_timer_ns/' \
$(git grep -l 'qemu_new_timer\>' )
after checking that get_clock and new_timer never occur twice
on the same line. There were no missed occurrences; however, even
if there had been, they would have been caught by the compiler.
There was exactly one false positive in qemu_run_timers:
- current_time = qemu_get_clock (clock);
+ current_time = qemu_get_clock_ns (clock);
which is of course not in this patch.

The !use_icount code is the same for iothread and non-iothread,
except that the timeout is different. Since the timeout might as
well be infinite and is only masking bugs, use the higher value.
With this change the !use_icount code is handled equivalently
in qemu_icount_delta and qemu_calculate_timeout, and we rip it
out of the former.

When the QEMU_CLOCK_HOST clock was added, computation of its
deadline was added to qemu_next_deadline, which is correct but
incomplete.
I noticed this by reading the very convoluted rules whereby
qemu_next_deadline_dyntick is computed, which miss QEMU_CLOCK_HOST
when use_icount is true. This patch inlines qemu_next_deadline
into qemu_next_deadline_dyntick, and then corrects the logic to skip
only QEMU_CLOCK_VIRTUAL when use_icount is true.

Move timer init functions to a new file, qemu-timer-common.c. Make other
critical timer functions inlined to preserve performance in
qemu-timer.c, also move muldiv64() (used by the inline functions)
to qemu-timer.h.
Adjust block/raw-posix.c and simpletrace.c to use get_clock() directly.
Remove a similar/duplicate definition in qemu-tool.c.
Adjust hw/omap_clk.c to include qemu-timer.h because muldiv64() is used
there.
After this change, tracing can be used also for user code and
simpletrace on Win32.

The period for Win32 timers is very short and always the same
independent of dynticks, so it's possible that the timer fires
