Subject: [PATCH 00/14] Convert remaining arches to use read/update_persistent_clock

A number of arches have moved over to using the generic read_persisitent_clock
or update_persisitent_clock implementations instead of manipulating xtime
themselves.

This patchset tries to convert the remaining arches over and will allow for
further generic timekeeping cleanups.

There is some issues where the RTC/persistent clock is behind a bus that requires
irqs to access. This patch is not trying to handle those cases, and instead is just
using whatever method was used at time_init to initialize xtime.

I sent this set out back in December to only a bit of discussion (many thanks to 
the testers who provided feedback!). But I wanted to send it out again to try to 
get this moving again.

Any feedback or comments would be appreciated.

thanks
-john
