[PATCH 2/10] Time: Use clocksource infrastructure for update_wall_time

[john stultz]

	This patch modifies the update_wall_time function so it 
increments time using the clocksource abstraction instead of jiffies. 
Since the only clocksource driver currently provided is the jiffies 
clocksource, this should result in no functional change. Additionally, 
a timekeeping_init and timekeeping_resume function has been added to 
initialize and maintain some of the new timekeping state.
