This patch reworks a large portion of the generic RTC code
to in-effect virtualize the rtc interrupt code.

The current RTC interface is very much a raw hardware interface.
Via the proc, /dev/, or sysfs interfaces, applciations can set
the hardware to trigger interrupts in one of three modes:

AIE: Alarm interrupt
UIE: Update interrupt (ie: once per second)
PIE: Periodic interrupt (sub-second irqs)

The problem with this interface is that it limits the RTC hardware
so it can only be used by one application at a time.

The purpose of this patch is to extend the RTC code so that we can
multiplex multiple applications event needs onto a single RTC device.
This is done by utilizing the timerqueue infrastructure to manage
a list of events, which cause the RTC hardware to be programmed
to fire an interrupt for the next event in the list.

In order to preserve the functionality of the exsting proc,/dev/ and
sysfs interfaces, we emulate the different interrupt modes as follows:

AIE: We create a rtc_timer dedicated to AIE mode interrupts. There is
only one per device, so we don't change existing interface semantics.

UIE: Again, a dedicated rtc_timer, set for periodic mode, is used
to emulate UIE interrupts. Again, only one per device.

PIE: Since PIE mode interrupts fire faster then the RTC's clock read
granularity, we emulate PIE mode interrupts using a hrtimer. Again,
one per device.

With this patch, the rtctest.c application in Documentation/rtc.txt
passes fine on x86 hardware. However, there may very well still be
bugs, so greatly I'd appreciate any feedback or testing!
