LinuxPPS: core support

This patch adds the kernel side of the PPS support currently named
"LinuxPPS".

PPS means "pulse per second" and a PPS source is just a device which
provides a high precision signal each second so that an application can
use it to adjust system clock time.

Common use is the combination of the NTPD as userland program with a GPS
receiver as PPS source to obtain a wallclock-time with sub-millisecond
synchronisation to UTC.

To obtain this goal the userland programs shoud use the PPS API
specification (RFC 2783 - Pulse-Per-Second API for UNIX-like Operating
Systems, Version 1.0) which in part is implemented by this patch.  It
provides a set of chars devices, one per PPS source, which can be used to
get the time signal.  The RFC's functions can be implemented by accessing
to these char devices.

+	  PPS (Pulse Per Second) is a special pulse provided by some GPS
+	  antennae. Userland can use it to get a high-precision time
+	  reference.
+
+	  Some antennae's PPS signals are connected with the CD (Carrier
+	  Detect) pin of the serial line they use to communicate with the
+	  host. In this case use the SERIAL_LINE client support.
+
+	  Some antennae's PPS signals are connected with some special host
+	  inputs so you have to enable the corresponding client support.
+
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the module
+	  will be called pps_core.ko.
+
+config PPS_DEBUG
+	bool "PPS debugging messages"

+	help
+	  Say Y here if you want the PPS support to produce a bunch of debug
+	  messages to the system log.  Select this if you are having a
+	  problem with PPS support and want to see more of what is going on.
