This adds a simple wrapper for the hrtimer_clock_base struct, which can be
obtained from a HrTimerCallbackContext. We'll use this in the next commit to
add a function to acquire the current time for the base clock driving a
hrtimer.

Please elaborate what a clock base is and what the use of this structure
is.

Is it the timer base for a specific clock, or the clock base for a
specific timer?


Best regards,

So: unfortunately the documentation there is pretty much all of the
documentation provided on the kernel side :P. However, I'm suddenly noticing
why that might be - going through the hrtimer headers again I'm noticing that
while we document all of the fields in hrtimer_clock_base, there's no publicly
exposed functions that interact with it. So, I don't really think we actually
want to expose it here either!

I'm going to rewrite this in the next series to not actually expose this
object at all, and instead just expose functions for retrieving the current
time from the base.
