Hi Thomas,

Userspace programs can now look at /sys/modules/printk/parameters/time which
will contain [0-3] for the timestamp clock.

The file is globally readable so it shouldn't cause any problems for userspace
programs:

[root@intel-wildcatpass-06 dummy-module]# ls -l /sys/module/printk/parameters/time
-rw-r--r--. 1 root root 4096 Mar  8 06:01 /sys/module/printk/parameters/time
