[GIT PULL V11] irq: next irq tracking

[Daniel Lezcano <daniel.lezcano@linaro.org>]

Hi Thomas,

this pull request contains the next irq prediction as posted for V11
[1] which takes into account all the commments. It is based on top of
irq/core.

As previously discussed the code is not enabled by default, hence compiled out.

The first patch adds the IRQF_TIMER flag to the timers which are percpu in
order to discard any timing measurement when the interrupt is coming from a
timer. All the timers changes have been discarded from V10.

The second patch adds a circular buffer and the small routine to store the
local time when an interrupt occurs. The t-uple <irq,timestamp> are encoded
together into a single 64bits as suggested by Nicolas Pitre.

The third patch provides the mathematic to compute the regular intervals. The
rational is in changelog and the math is commented in details in the code.

Thanks.
