[S390] ETR support.
This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.
