[PATCH 1/3] printk: Allow architecture-specific timestamping function

[Marc Zyngier]

printk currently relies on local_clock to time-stamp the kernel
messages. In order to allow the timestamping (and only that)
to be overridden by architecture-specific code, let's declare
a new timestamp_clock() function, which gets used by the printk
code. Architectures willing to make use of this facility will
have to define CONFIG_ARCH_HAS_TIMESTAMP_CLOCK.

The default is of course to return local_clock(), so that the
existing behaviour stays unchanged.
