x86: Increase precision of x86_platform.get/set_wallclock()
All the virtualized platforms (KVM, lguest and Xen) have persistent wallclocks that have more than one second of precision. read_persistent_wallclock() and update_persistent_wallclock() allow for nanosecond precision but their implementation on x86 with x86_platform.get/set_wallclock() only allows for one second precision. This means guests may see a wallclock time that is off by up to 1 second. Make set_wallclock() and get_wallclock() take a struct timespec parameter (which allows for nanosecond precision) so KVM and Xen guests may start with a more accurate wallclock time and a Xen dom0 can maintain a more accurate wallclock for guests.
