[PATCH 1/2] Add scaled time to taskstats based process accounting

From: Michael Neuling
Date: Thu Aug 16 2007 - 21:10:21 EST


This adds items to the taststats struct to account for user and system
time based on scaling the CPU frequency and instruction issue rates.

Adds account_(user|system)_time_scaled callbacks which architectures
can use to account for time using this mechanism.
