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.

This option enables a tickless system: timer interrupts will
|
|
only trigger on an as-needed basis both when the system is
|
|
busy and when the system is idle.
