[PATCH] jiffies.h

Trivial patch update against 2.5.17:
Tim Schmielau <tim@physik3.uni-rostock.de>: move jiffies from sched.h to it's own jiffies.h:
  Move 'jiffies' from sched.h to their own header.
  Then pull the sched.h dependency from 67 files that include sched.h for
  no apparent reason other than the jiffies declaration.

  Move the time_[before,after}{_eq}() macros from timer.h to jiffies.h,
  since there are *no* files using them that don't also use jiffies.

  Many more sched.h dependencies can be killed after capable(),
  request_irq(), and free_irq() are moved out of <linux/sched.h>.
