891ff65ff5 Use copy_to_user() not put_user for struct timespec
Use copy_to_user() when copying a struct timespec to the guest -
put_user() cannot handle two long's in one go on a 64bit arch.

6c8dca5d53 Provide timespec to guests rather than jiffies clock.
A non-periodic clock_event_device and the "jiffies" clock don't mix well:
tick_handle_periodic() can go into an infinite loop.

Currently lguest guests use the jiffies clock when the TSC is
unusable.  Instead, make the Host write the current time into the lguest
page on every interrupt.  This doesn't cost much but is more precise
and at least as accurate as the jiffies clock.  It also gets rid of
the GET_WALLCLOCK hypercall.

Also, delay setting sched_clock until our clock is set up, otherwise
the early printk timestamps can go backwards (not harmful, just ugly).

f938d2c892 lguest: documentation I: Preparation
The netfilter code had very good documentation: the Netfilter Hacking HOWTO.
Noone ever read it.

So this time I'm trying something different, using a bit of Knuthiness.

This is the code for the "lg.ko" module, which allows lguest guests to
be launched.
