Move timers examples to samples and remove it from Documentation
Makefile. Create a new Makefile to build timers. It can be built
from top level directory or from timers directory:
Run make -C samples/timers or cd samples/timers; make

Looks like the HPET spec at intel.com got moved.
It isn't hard to find so drop the link, just mention
the revision assumed.

Documentation/timers/hpet.txt:
Expose example and tool source files in the Documentation/timers/ directory in
their own files instead of being buried (almost hidden) in readme/txt files.
This should help to prevent bitrot.
This will make them more visible/usable to users who may need
to use them, to developers who may need to test with them, and
to anyone who would fix/update them if they were more visible.
Also, if any of these possibly should not be in the kernel tree at
all, it will be clearer that they are here and we can discuss if
they should be removed.

Minor /dev/hpet updates and bugfixes:
* Remove dead code, mostly remnants of an incomplete/unusable
kernel interface ... noted when addressing "sparse" warnings:
+ hpet_unregister() and a routine it calls
+ hpet_task and all references, including hpet_task_lock
+ hpet_data.hd_flags (and HPET_DATA_PLATFORM)
* Correct and improve boot message:
+ displays *counter* (shared between comparators) bit width,
not *timer* bit widths (which are often mixed)
+ relabel "timers" as "comparators"; this is less confusing,
they are not independent like normal timers are (sigh)
+ display MHz not Hz; it's never less than 10 MHz.
* Tighten and correct the userspace interface code
+ don't accidentally program comparators in 64-bit mode using
32-bit values ... always force comparators into 32-bit mode
+ provide the correct bit definition flagging comparators with
periodic capability ... the ABI is unchanged
* Update Documentation/hpet.txt
+ be more correct and current
+ expand description a bit
+ don't mention that now-gone kernel interface
Plus, add a FIXME comment for something that could cause big trouble
on systems with more capable HPETs than at least Intel seems to ship.
It seems that few folk use this userspace interface; it's not very
usable given the general lack of HPET IRQ routing. I'm told that
the only real point of it any more is to mmap for fast timestamps;
IMO that's handled better through the gettimeofday() vsyscall.

Move hpet.txt to Documentation/timers/ subdirectory.
Add 00-INDEX to Documentation/timers/ subdirectory.
