The ARM architected system counter has at least 56 usable bits.
Add support for counters with more than 32 bits to the generic
sched_clock implementation so we can increase the time between
wakeups due to dealing with wrap-around on these devices while
benefiting from the irqtime accounting and suspend/resume
handling that the generic sched_clock code already has. On my
system using 56 bits over 32 bits changes the wraparound time
from a few minutes to an hour. For faster running counters (GHz
range) this is even more important because we may not be able to
execute the timer in time to deal with the wraparound if only 32
bits are used.
We choose a maxsec value of 3600 seconds because we assume no
system will go idle for more than an hour. In the future we may
need to increase this value.
Note: All users should switch over to the 64-bit read function so
we can remove setup_sched_clock() in favor of sched_clock_register().

Nothing about the sched_clock implementation in the ARM port is
specific to the architecture. Generalize the code so that other
architectures can use it by selecting GENERIC_SCHED_CLOCK.
