[U-Boot] [RFC][PATCH 0/5][Timer]Timer cleanup, new API, x86 HAL

[Graeme Russ]

This is a preview patch series for the new timer API implemented for the
x86 architecture. It provides a proof of concept for the API currently
under discussion. Some of the details are yet to be finalised, but
hopefully this patchset will give some insight into where we are going.
Note in particular the implementation of sync_timers() - It works very
well for systems with 1us tick sources, but is not at all generic for
more obscure clock frequencies - Bill Campbell will (hopefully ;))
provide a more robust function.

Enjoy
