780427f0e1 timekeeping: Indicate that clock was set in the pvclock gtod notifier
If the clock was set (stepped), set the action parameter to functions
in the pvclock gtod notifier chain to non-zero.  This allows the
callee to only do work if the clock was stepped.

This will be used on Xen as the synchronization of the Xen wallclock
to the control domain's (dom0) system time will be done with this
notifier and updating on every timer tick is unnecessary and too
expensive.

e0b306fef9 time: export time information for KVM pvclock
As suggested by John, export time data similarly to how its
done by vsyscall support. This allows KVM to retrieve necessary
information to implement vsyscall support in KVM guests.
