Jacob Keller 3342688a66 devlink: display elapsed time during flash update
For some devices, updating the flash can take significant time during
operations where no status can meaningfully be reported. This can be
somewhat confusing to a user who sees devlink appear to hang on the
terminal waiting for the device to update.

Recent changes to the kernel interface allow such long running commands
to provide a timeout value indicating some upper bound on how long the
relevant action could take.

Provide a ticking counter of the time elapsed since the previous status
message in order to make it clear that the program is not simply stuck.

Display this message whenever the status message from the kernel
indicates a timeout value. Additionally also display the message if
we've received no status for more than couple of seconds. If we elapse
more than the timeout provided by the status message, replace the
timeout display with "timeout reached".

How to compile this.
--------------------
1. libdbm

arpd needs to have the berkeleydb development libraries. For Debian
users this is the package with a name like libdbX.X-dev.
DBM_INCLUDE points to the directory with db_185.h which
is the include file used by arpd to get to the old format Berkeley
database routines.  Often this is in the db-devel package.

2. make

The makefile will automatically build a config.mk file which
contains definitions of libraries that may or may not be available
on the system such as: ATM, ELF, MNL, and SELINUX.

3. To make documentation, cd to doc/ directory , then
   look at start of Makefile and set correct values for
   PAGESIZE=a4		, ie: a4 , letter ...	(string)
   PAGESPERPAGE=2	, ie: 1 , 2 ...		(numeric)
   and make there. It assumes, that latex, dvips and psnup
   are in your path.

4. This package includes matching sanitized kernel headers because
   the build environment may not have up to date versions. See Makefile
   if you have special requirements and need to point at different
   kernel include files.
