    In order to properly fix the denial of service issue with high freq
    periodic alarm timers, we need to push the re-arming logic into the
    alarm timer handler, much as the hrtimer code does.
    
    This patch introduces alarmtimer_restart enum and changes the
    alarmtimer handler declarations to use it as a return value. Further,
    to ease following changes, it extends the alarmtimer handler functions
    to also take the time at expiration. No logic is yet modified.
