Christian Borntraeger ca8723023f KVM: s390: use hrtimer for clock wakeup from idle - v2
This patch reworks the s390 clock comparator wakeup to hrtimer. The clock
comparator is a per-cpu value that is compared against the TOD clock. If
ckc <= TOD an external interrupt 1004 is triggered. Since the clock comparator
and the TOD clock have a much higher resolution than jiffies we should use
hrtimers to trigger the wakeup. This speeds up guest nanosleep for small
values.

Since hrtimers callbacks run in hard-irq context, I added a tasklet to do
the actual work with enabled interrupts.
