[PATCH RFC v1 3/8] timer: Export next wakeup time of a CPU

From: Lina Iyer Knowing the sleep duration of CPUs, is known to be needed while selecting the most energy efficient idle state for a CPU or a group of CPUs. However, to be able to compute the sleep duration, we need to know at what time the next expected wakeup is for the CPU. Therefore, let's e
