microkernel: deprecate task IRQs
This mechanism does not add enough value to the kernel to be worth
maintaining it. Drivers that need deferred processing of interrupts
can simply define their own task and have the interrupt handler
release an event that the task waits on.
The API is marked as deprecated and it is removed from unit test
coverage as well as the documentation.

By default, kernel event logger is using the system timer. But on
some platforms where the timer driver maintains the system timer
cycle accumulator in software, such as ones using the LOAPIC timer,
the system timer behavior leads to timestamp errors. For example,
the timer interrupt is logged with a wrong timestamp since the HW
timer value has been reset (periodic mode) but accumulated value not
updated yet (done later in the ISR).
This patch is adding the possibility to register a timer callback
function that will be used by the kernel event logger. For example,
on Quark SE, this allows using RTC or AON counter which accuracy is
sufficient and behavior more straight forward compared to system
timer.

OS tick period (usually 10 ms) is not sufficiently precise for task
execution analysis (like processing CPU load per context)
With that modification, the timestamp used by the kernel event logger
is 32-bit LSB of platform HW timer (for example Lakemont APIC timer
for Quark SE).
This timer period is very small and leads to timestamp wraparound
happening quite often (e.g. every 134s for Quark SE).
This wraparound must be considered when analyzing kernel event logger
data and care must be taken when tickless idle is enabled and sleep
duration can exceed maximum HW timer value.
