Omap timers remove hardcoded base address and add some initial
support for the beaglebone's timers. Frclock_util will need
refactoring to remain independent of the ARM flavour.

In order to make it more clear that ticks should be used for timers
and realtime should be used for timestamps / displaying the date/time,
getuptime() was renamed to getticks() and getuptime2() was renamed to
getuptime().
Servers, drivers, libraries, tests, etc that use getuptime()/getuptime2()
have been updated. In instances where a realtime was calculated, the
calculation was changed to use realtime.
System calls clock_getres() and clock_gettime() were added to PM/libc.
Make the frclock functions similar to the tsc utility functions. This
way, we can call frclock functions from the framebuffer driver which
will use frclock on ARM and tsc on X86.
Also, frclock_64_to_micros computed seconds, not microseconds

The Cycle CouNTer on ARM cannot be used reliably as it wraps around
rather quickly and can be altered by user space (on Minix). Furthermore,
it's buggy when wrapping and is not implemented at all on the Linaro
Beagleboard emulator.
This patch programs GPTIMER10 as a free running clock at 1.625 MHz (it
doesn't generate interrupts). It's memory mapped into every process,
which enables libsys to provide micro_delay().
