[PATCH] hrtimer: create generic sleeper
The removal of the data field in the hrtimer structure enforces the embedding of the timer into another data structure. nanosleep now uses a private implementation of the most common used timer callback function (simple task wakeup). In order to avoid the reimplentation of such functionality all over the place a generic hrtimer_sleeper functionality is created.
