[PATCHv2 2/3]: Provide 10s of microsecond timesource

[Gerrit Renker <gerrit@erg.abdn.ac.uk>]

I have thought this over - the solutions I came up with were all complicated
and I think it is not worth making it more complicated if the issue only occurs
every 11.9 hours. But added a warning note in the timer comments, so that other
timestamp users may take preventive action, if necessary.

--------------------> Patch v2 <-----------------------------------------
[DCCP]: Provide 10s of microsecond timesource

This provides a timesource, conveniently used for DCCP timestamps, which 
returns the elapsed time in 10s of microseconds since initialisation. 
This makes for a wrap-around time of about 11.9 hours, which should be
sufficient for most applications.
