Hi all,

This is a set of patch for ia64 clocksource to improve performance
of fsys_gettimeofday (and also normal gettimeofday).

 [1/3] copy time structures into fsys_gtod_data
 [2/3] separate data for jitter compensation
 [3/3] remove cmpxchg loop in gettimeofday

Finally, the results of my test at start:

> # clocksource (Bob's) : default
> CPU  0:  4.66 (usecs) (0 errors / 2145680 iterations)
> CPU  1:  4.65 (usecs) (493 errors / 2148438 iterations)
> CPU  2:  4.63 (usecs) (668 errors / 2159461 iterations)

> CPU  2:  2.96 (usecs) (0 errors / 3382229 iterations)
> CPU  3:  2.97 (usecs) (0 errors / 3371004 iterations)

are now refined to:

Thanks,
