ia64: fix clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC) to report ITC frequency
clock_gettime(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &tp) is very precise on ia64 as it uses ITC
(similar to rdtsc on x86). It's not quite a hrtimer as it is a few times
slower than 1ns. Usually 2-3ns.
clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) never reflected that fact and reported
0.04s precision (1/HZ value).
In https://bugs.gentoo.org/596382 gstreamer's test suite failed loudly
when it noticed precision discrepancy.
Before the change:
clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reported 250Hz precision.
After the change:
clock_getres(CLOCK_MONOTONIC, &res) reports ITC (400Mhz) precision.
The patch is based on matoro's fix. I added a bit of explanation why we
need to special-case arch-specific clock_getres().
