[patch 14/43] Introduce ktime_t time format

[Thomas Gleixner]

plain text document attachment (ktime-t.patch)
- introduce ktime_t: nanosecond-resolution time format.

- eliminate the plain s64 scalar type, and always use the union.
  This simplifies the arithmetics. Idea from Roman Zippel.

+ * mathematical operations on the tv64 member of the union too, which
+ * for certain operations produces better code.
+ *
+ * For architectures with efficient support for 64/32-bit conversions the
+ * plain scalar nanosecond based representation can be selected by the
