This change serves to reduce the clutter inside the top-level kerninfo
structure, and allows other ARM-specific values to be added on the
kernel page in one place.

Please note that this information is for use by system services only!
The clock facility is not ready to be used directly by userland, and
thus, this kernel page extension is NOT part of the userland ABI.
For service programmers' convenience, change the prototype of the
getticks(3) to return the uptime clock value directly, since the call
can no longer fail.
Correct the sys_times(2) reply message to use the right field type
for the boot time.
Restructure the kernel internals a bit so as to have all the clock
stuff closer together.

Instead of importing an external _minix_kerninfo variable, any code
using the shared kernel page should now call get_minix_kerninfo(3).
Since this is the only logical name for such a function, rename the
previous get_minix_kerninfo call to ipc_minix_kerninfo.

The entire infrastructure relied on an ACK feature, and as such, it
has been broken for years now, with no easy way to repair it.
