[RFC patch 5/8] timekeeping: Store cycle_last value in timekeeperstruct as well

From: Thomas Gleixner
Date: Thu Feb 21 2013 - 17:52:54 EST


For implementing a shadow timekeeper and a split calculation/update
region we need to store the cycle_last value in the timekeeper and
update the value in the clocksource struct only in the update region.

Add the extra storage to the timekeeper.
