* l4/compat/schedule.h (_L4_CLOCK_OP): Make CLOCK argument a
reference.
(_L4_CLOCK_OP) [__cplusplus]: Add another instance of the macro to
define operator+(L4_Clock_t&, L4_Clock_t&) and
operator-(L4_Clock_t&, L4_Clock_t&).
(_L4_CLOCK_OP) [!__cplusplus]: Add another instance of the macro
to define L4_ClockAdd and L4_ClockSub.
* l4/thread.h (_L4_user_defined_handle_of, _L4_pager_of,
__L4_STOP): Add the _L4_XCHG_REGS_DELIVER bit to CONTROL.
* l4/syscall.h (_L4_XCHG_REGS_DELIVER): New macro.
