Good idea, I had considered that but thought a larger cleanup might run
afoul of the merge rules :)

Regardless, here it is. Id appreciate a once over since it does affect
more code than the previous patch :)

Now we have high res timers on ppc64 I thought Id test them. It turns
out compat_sys_nanosleep hasnt been converted to the hrtimer code and so
is limited to HZ resolution.

The following patch pulls the copy_to_user out of hrtimer_nanosleep and
into the callers (common_nsleep, sys_nanosleep and compat_sys_nanosleep)
thus avoiding any set_fs(KERNEL_DS) or compat_alloc_userspace tricks.
