Hi,

here comes a new testsuite tool to add the required [1] clock validation
against unsynchronised TSCs on SMP boxes. It can also be used to detect
certain classes of broken clocks (TSCs...) on UP and to measure the
drift against the Linux clock (gettimeofday). The latter is interesting
to check the potential impact of new tsc-to-ns conversion functions and
- once we provide such a feature - the synchronisation of Xenomai's time
base with Linux (or other clocks).

Feedback welcome!

Once everyone is fine with it, I would like to apply it to trunk. IMO we
should also add this test to the xeno_test script (if someone feels like
providing an add-on patch, don't hesitate).

Jan
