Subject: [PATCH] clocksource: Allow toggling between runtime and persistent clocksource for idle
Some persistent clocksources can be on a slow external bus. For shorter
latencies for RT use, let's allow toggling the clocksource during idle
between a faster non-persistent runtime clocksource and a slower persistent
clocksource.

Anybody got better ideas for something like last_idled_cpu() type check
at the end of this patch?
