timers: Add CLOCK_BOOTTIME hrtimer base
CLOCK_MONOTONIC stops while the system is in suspend. This is because
to applications system suspend is invisible. However, there is a
growing set of applications that are wanting to be suspend-aware,
but do not want to deal with the complications of CLOCK_REALTIME
(which might jump around if settimeofday is called).
For these applications, I propose a new clockid: CLOCK_BOOTTIME.
CLOCK_BOOTTIME is idential to CLOCK_MONOTONIC, except it also
includes any time spent in suspend.
This patch add hrtimer base for CLOCK_BOOTTIME, using
get_monotonic_boottime/ktime_get_boottime, to allow
in kernel users to set timers against.
