Add a new command-line option "xen_timer_slop=<INT>" that sets the minimum delta of virtual Xen timers. This commit does not change the default timer slop value for virtual Xen timers. Lowering the timer slop value should improve the accuracy of virtual timers (e.g., better process dispatch latency), but it will likely increase the number of virtual timer interrupts (relative to the original slop setting). The original timer slop value has not changed since the introduction of the Xen-aware Linux kernel code. This commit provides users an opportunity to tune timer performance given the refinements to hardware and the Xen event channel processing. It also mirrors a feature in the Xen hypervisor - the "timer_slop" Xen command line option.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
