This patch adds a 'timesource' class into sysfs. Each registered POSIX
clock appears by name under /sys/class/timesource. The idea is to
expose to user space the dynamic mapping between clock devices and
clock IDs.

+Description:
+ This file contains the clock ID (a non-negative
+ integer) of the named time source registered with the
+ POSIX clock subsystem. This value may be passed as the
+ first argument to the POSIX clock and timer system
+ calls. See man CLOCK_GETRES(2) and TIMER_CREATE(2).
