Prevent timeout overflow if timer ticks are behind jiffies (due to high
softirq load or due to dyntick), by limiting the valid timeout range to
MAX_LONG/2.

There are loads of fat functions hidden in jiffies.h. Uninline them. No code
changes.

jiffies.h includes a comment informing that jiffies_64 must be read with the
assistance of the xtime_lock seqlock. The comment text, however, calls
jiffies_64 "not volatile", which should probably read "not atomic".

The current time_before/time_after macros will fail typechecks
when passed u64 values (as returned by get_jiffies_64()). On 64bit
systems, this will just result in a warning about mismatching types
without explicit casts, but since unsigned long and u64
(unsigned long long) are of same size, it will still work.
On 32bit systems, a long is 32bits, so the value from get_jiffies_64()
will be truncated by the cast and thus lose all the precision gained by
64bit jiffies.

If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day.
This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct
setting (still using PIT count).
If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced.
HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for
HPET timer.
Vojtech comments:
"It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally
exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error
there."

move div_long_long_rem() from jiffies.h into a new calc64.h include file, as
it is a general math function useful for other things than the jiffy code.
Convert it to an inline function

Clarify the human-time units to jiffies conversion functions by using the
constants in time.h. This makes many of the subsequent patches direct

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
