[PATCH] Introduce time_data, a new structure to hold jiffies, xtime, xtime_lock, wall_to_monotonic, calc_load_count and avenrun

This patch introduces a new structure called time_data, where some time keeping related variables are put together to share as few cache lines as possible. This should reduce timer interrupt latency and cache lines ping pongs in SMP machines. struct time_data { u64_j
