Impact: cleanup

Simple replacement, now the _nr is redundant.

<title>cpumask: convert kernel time functions</title>

Impact: Use new APIs

Convert kernel/time functions to use struct cpumask *.

Note the ugly bitmap declarations in tick-broadcast.c.  These should
be cpumask_var_t, but there was no obvious initialization function to
put the alloc_cpumask_var() calls in.  This was safe.

(Eventually 'struct cpumask' will be undefined for CONFIG_CPUMASK_OFFSTACK,
so we use a bitmap here to show we really mean it).

<title>clocksource: keep track of original clocksource frequency</title>

<id>1aa5dfb751d275ae7117d3b73ac423b4a46f2a73</id>
<content type='text'>
The clocksource frequency is represented by
clocksource-&gt;mult/2^(clocksource-&gt;shift).  Currently, when NTP makes
adjustments to the clock frequency, they are made directly to the mult
value.

This has the drawback that once changed, we cannot know what the orignal
mult value was, or how much adjustment has been applied.

This property causes problems in calculating proper ntp intervals when
switching back and forth between clocksources.

This patch separates the current mult value into a mult and mult_orig
pair.  The mult_orig value stays constant, while the ntp clocksource
adjustments are done only to the mult value.

This allows for correct ntp interval calculation and additionally lays the
groundwork for a new notion of time, what I'm calling the monotonic-raw
time, which is introduced in a following patch.

<title>sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function</title>

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

File permissions for

are 600 which allows write access. But this is in fact a read only
file. So change permissions to 400.
