This is my current patch to rework arch/powerpc/kernel/time.c to create
a clocksource.  It's not ready for inclusion.

powerpc needs to keep the vdso in sync whenener settimeodfay() is
called.  Adding the hook the to the clocksource structure was my way of
allowing this to happen.  There are other approaches, but this seemed to
best allow for runtime.  Initially I considered using update_vsyscall()
but this is called from do_timer(), and I don't need this code run then
:(

This has been booted on pSeries and iSeries (I'm using glibc 2.5, which
uses the vdso gettimeoday())

All comments appreiated.
