This, patch implements the POSIX clocks and timers
functions.  The two standard clocks are
defined(CLOCK_REALTIME & CLOCK_MONOTONIC). 

With this version, nano_sleep() is rolled into
clock_nanosleep().  Also a bug fix in clock_nanosleep().

kernel/timer.c is modified to remove the timer_t typedef
which conflicts with the POSIX standard definition for this
type.  

The patch introduces a new kernel source (posix-timers.c)
which contains most of the code.

This implementation NOW has no limits on the number of
timers in the system or per process or task, thanks to Jim
Houston.

Kernel version 2.5.44-bk1

To follow are the core and i386 high res patches and a patch
to convert this code to use high-res.

Test programs, man pages and readme files as well as this
patch are available on the sourceforge high-res-timers site:
