     [PATCH] clocksource: Add verification (watchdog) helper

     The TSC needs to be verified against another clocksource.  Instead 
of using
     hardwired assumptions of available hardware, provide a generic 
verification
     mechanism.  The verification uses the best available clocksource 
and handles
     the usability for high resolution timers / dynticks of the 
clocksource which
     needs to be verified.
