 * Management arrays for POSIX timers.   Timers are kept in slab memory
 * Timer ids are allocated by an external routine that keeps track of the
 * id and the timer.  The external interface is:
 *
 * void *idr_find(struct idr *idp, int id);           to find timer_id <id>
 * int idr_get_new(struct idr *idp, void *ptr);       to get a new id and
 *                                                    related it to <ptr>
 * void idr_remove(struct idr *idp, int id);          to release <id>
 * void idr_init(struct idr *idp);                    to initialize <idp>
 *                                                    which we supply.
 * The idr_get_new *may* call slab for more memory so it must not be
 * called under a spin lock.  Likewise idr_remore may release memory
 * (but it may be ok to do this under a lock...).
 * idr_find is just a memory look up and is quite fast.  A -1 return
 * indicates that the requested id does not exist.

/*
 * CLOCKs: The POSIX standard calls for a couple of clocks and allows us
 *          to implement others.  This structure defines the various
 *          clocks and allows the possibility of adding others.  We
 *          provide an interface to add clocks to the table and expect
 *          the "arch" code to add at least one clock that is high
 *          resolution.  Here we define the standard CLOCK_REALTIME as a
 *          1/HZ resolution clock.
 *
 * RESOLUTION: Clock resolution is used to round up timer and interval
 *          times, NOT to report clock times, which are reported with as
 *          much resolution as the system can muster.  In some cases this
 *          resolution may depend on the underlying clock hardware and
 *          may not be quantifiable until run time, and only then is the
 *          necessary code is written.  The standard says we should say
 *          something about this issue in the documentation...
 *
 * FUNCTIONS: The CLOCKs structure defines possible functions to handle
 *          various clock functions.  For clocks that use the standard
 *          system timer code these entries should be NULL.  This will
 *          allow dispatch without the overhead of indirect function
 *          calls.  CLOCKS that depend on other sources (e.g. WWV or GPS)
 *          must supply functions here, even if the function just returns
 *          ENOSYS.  The standard POSIX timer management code assumes the
 *          following: 1.) The k_itimer struct (sched.h) is used for the
 *          timer.  2.) The list, it_lock, it_clock, it_id and it_process
 *          fields are not modified by timer code.
 *
 *          At this time all functions EXCEPT clock_nanosleep can be
 *          redirected by the CLOCKS structure.  Clock_nanosleep is in
 *          there, but the code ignores it.
 *
 * Permissions: It is assumed that the clock_settime() function defined
 *          for each clock will take care of permission checks.  Some
 *          clocks may be set able by any user (i.e. local process
 *          clocks) others not.  Currently the only set able clock we
 *          have is CLOCK_REALTIME and its high res counter part, both of
 *          which we beg off on and pass to do_sys_settimeofday().
