[PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helper
The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource. Instead of using
hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic verification
mechanism. The verification uses the best available clocksource and handles
the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the clocksource which
needs to be verified.
