Hmm. Now we need a convention. Damn. ;-)

I'm open to suggestions. I think prepending a single underscore makes
great sense for a lock-free inner function. And some number of
underscores (1 or 2) makes sense for static functions not exposed to
clock providers. I kind of like using 2 underscores for the static
functions so that it is easier to differentiate them.

For any new functions you create with unique names that are exposed to
clock providers, do not prepend any underscore at all. It's just
another public function in clk-provider.h.

If any taste makers out there have suggestions I am happy to listen.

Mike
