timeout()/untimeout() API:
- Clients supply callout handle storage, thus eliminating problems of
resource allocation.
- Insertion and removal of callouts is constant time, important as
this facility is used quite a lot in the kernel.
The old timeout()/untimeout() API has been removed from the kernel.
- returned EOPNOTSUPP rather than -1.
- no check for negative offset.
many of these fix potential security problems in these drivers.

needs to be cleaned up, and as-is it doesn't compile. However, getting
it in the tree is a start.
