timer_list implementation

hi! we now have a 'struct timer_list' API, its use is similar to that of the linux kernel (and openbsc). The caller (e.g. your driver/app) allocates a 'struct timer_list', sets the 'cb' function pointer to a callback function, and then schedules the timer with 'schedule_timer(&my_struct_tm, 600) for expiration in e.g. 600ms from now. Once the timer expires, it will call the callback. There's also an 'unsigned long' argument that you can pass along. Calling the timer expiration routines happens by calling update_timers() from the while (1) loop in the main program. This will of course change once we have a scheduler and tasks.
