timers: Introduce in-kernel alarm-timer interface

Browse source 
This provides the in kernel interface and infrastructure for
alarm-timers.

Alarm-timers are a hybrid style timer, similar to hrtimers,
but when the system is suspended, the RTC device is set to
fire and wake the system for when the soonest alarm-timer
expires.

The concept for Alarm-timers was inspired by the Android Alarm
driver (by Arve Hjønnevåg) found in the Android kernel tree.

See: http://android.git.kernel.org/?p=kernel/common.git;a=blob;f=drivers/rtc/alarm.c;h=1250edfbdf3302f5e4ea6194847c6ef4bb7beb1c;hb=android-2.6.36

This in-kernel interface should be fairly compatible with the
Android alarm driver in-kernel interface, but has the advantage
of utilizing the new RTC timerqueue code instead of doing direct
RTC manipulation.
