Subject: [PATCH] ftrace: add tracepoint for xtime

This patch can trace current xtime and wall_to_monotonic. Then user can
use ctime() to convert them to wall time which is easier to be understood, 
especially for flight-recorder which need to get trace event from a kernel
dump file. 

Example of ftrace output:
          <idle>-0     [000] 20118.489849: gtod_update_xtime: xtime=1243265589.999999824 wall_to_monotonic=3051713268.744158739
           <...>-4020  [001] 20118.489855: sys_open(filename: bf9e66e0, flags: 98800, mode: bf9e66e0)
           <...>-4020  [001] 20118.489873: sys_open -> 0xffffffec

ctime(1243265590) = date:Mon May 25 11:33:10 2009
So we can realize the task with pid 4020 open a file at
Mon May 25 11:33:10 2009
