Allow the active timer (providing udelay() and currticks()) to be
selected at runtime based on probing during the INIT_EARLY stage of
initialisation.
TICKS_PER_SEC is now a fixed compile-time constant for all builds, and
is independent of the underlying clock tick rate. We choose the value
1024 to allow multiplications and divisions on seconds to be converted
to bit shifts.
TICKS_PER_MS is defined as 1, allowing multiplications and divisions
on milliseconds to be omitted entirely. The 2% inaccuracy in this
definition is negligible when using the standard BIOS timer (running
at around 18.2Hz).
TIMER_RDTSC now checks for a constant TSC before claiming to be a
usable timer. (This timer can be tested in KVM via the command-line
option "-cpu host,+invtsc".)

ath_rx_init() demonstrates some serious confusion over how to use
pointers, resulting in (uint32_t*)NULL being used as a temporary
variable. This does not end well.
The broken code in question is performing manual alignment of I/O
buffers, which can now be achieved more simply using alloc_iob_raw().
Fix by removing ath_rxbuf_alloc() entirely.

[ath9k] Remove confusing logic inversion in an ANI variable
This changed in Linux kernel the same way in commit 7067e701
("ath9k_hw: remove confusing logic inversion in an ANI variable") by
Felix Fietkau.
Additionally this fixes "error: logical not is only applied to the
left hand side of comparison" with GCC 5.1.0.
