In order to promote interoperability between userspace tracers and ftrace,
add a trace_clock that reports raw TSC values which will then be recorded
in the ring buffer. Userspace tracers that also record TSCs are then on
exactly the same time base as the kernel and events can be unambiguously
interlaced.
Tested: Enabled a tracepoint and the "tsc" trace_clock and saw very large
timestamp values.
v2:
Move arch-specific bits out of generic code.
v3:
Rename "x86-tsc", cleanups
v7:
Generic arch bits in Kbuild.

Place comments in:
arch/mips/include/asm/Kbuild
arch/tile/include/arch/Kbuild
to make them non-empty so that the patch program doesn't remove them when it
reduces them to nothing.
Possibly they should be just deleted, but it's possible that they'll acquire
generic-y or genhdr-y lines in future, so I'm keeping them around for the
moment.
Note that MIPS will compile happily if the file is deleted instead. I haven't
tested TILE, but I suspect it will be the same there.

Fix arch/mips/include/asm/Kbuild to have a separate header-y line for each
header to make them easier to relocate individually as part of the UAPI header
split.

Add swab.h to kbuild.asm and remove the individual entries from
each arch, mark as unifdef as some arches have some kernel-only
bits inside.
