Subject: [PATCH] sched: move CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING to common code

Since CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING is architecture-agnostic,
move it from x86 area to common code.

IIRC, it's x86 dependent now.

Thanks,

That's not enough, right now on x86 this code needs special
architecture glue, see how the noirqtime flag is used to call
into enable_sched_clock_irqtime() after TSC init.

So if you apply your patch and boot CONFIG_IRQ_TIME_ACCOUNTING=y
on say an ARM system, nothing will be done, because
sched_clock_irqtime is always zero.

Thanks,

Ingo
