Subject[patch-mm 15/25] clocksource: add settimeofday hook for PPC
From: Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com >

I'm working on a clocksource implementation for all powerpc platforms.
some of these platforms needs to do a little work as part of the
settimeofday() syscall and I can't see a way to do that without adding
this hook to clocksource.

From: Tony Breeds <tony@bakeyournoodle.com>

Add per clocksource hook to settimeofday().

Some clocksources need to do extra work as part of the settimeofday call, this
hook make it easy to do so.
