[PATCH 1/13] Time: Reduced NTP rework (part 1)

[john stultz]

All,
	With Roman's suggestions, I've been working on reducing the 
footprint of my timeofday patches. This is the first of two patches 
that reworks some of the interrupt time NTP adjustments so that it 
could be re-used with the timeofday patches. The motivation of the 
change is to logically separate the code which adjusts xtime and the 
code that decides, based on the NTP state variables, how much per tick 
to adjust xtime. 

Thus this patch should not affect the existing behavior, but just 
separate the logical functionality so it can be re-used.

thanks
-john
