hrtimer: turn hrtimers into range timers

this patch turns hrtimers into range timers; they have 2 expire points
1) the soft expire point
2) the hard expire point

the kernel will do it's regular best effort attempt to get the timer run
at the hard expire point. However, if some other time fires after the soft
expire point, the kernel now has the freedom to fire this timer at this point,
and thus grouping the events and preventing a power-expensive wakeup in the
future.
