[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/7] timer: move APIs together according to their category

[Xuebing Wang]

There are 6 categories of APIs:
- QEMUClockType
- QEMUTimerList
- QEMUTimerListGroup
- QEMUTimer
- General utility functions
- Low level clock functions

Problems / solutions with previous API implementations:
1) Can not think of cases that we need QEMUTimerList APIs.
   Reference:  kernel_tree/Documentation/SubmittingPatches
               -- Section "4) Don't over-design"
   Purpose:    simplify API
   Solution:   remove them from APIs
2) Implementations of some APIs are interwined
   Purpose:    put them together according to their categories, thus new
               engineers are easy to understand them
   Solution:   put them together
3) Unnecessary header files are included
   Purpose:    simplify the included header files
   Solution:   only include the minimally required header file

This patchset includes below changes:
- put QEMUTimerList related functions together and make them private
- put QEMUClockType related functions together
- move QEMUTimerListGroup function to be below QEMUClockType
- put QEMUTimer related functions together
- put general utility functions together
- clean unnecessary #include and use minimal required #include
