Subject: [PATCH 0/2 v8] printk: Add new timestamps

printk.time=1/CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME=1 adds a unmodified local hardware clock
timestamp to printk messages.  The local hardware clock loses time each
day making it difficult to determine exactly when an issue has occurred in
the kernel log, and making it difficult to determine how kernel and
hardware issues relate to each other in real time.

Add monotonic, boottime, and real clock timestamps in addition to the existing
local hardware clock timestamp.
