Doing so will reduce the architecture dependencies of our timer drivers, reduce code in ARM core, and simplify timer drivers because they no longer go through an architecture layer that is essentially a hotplug notifier. Previous attempts have been made[1] unsuccessfully. I'm hoping this can be accepted now so that we can clean up the timer drivers that are used in both UP and SMP situations. Right now these drivers have to ignore the timer setup callback on the boot CPU to avoid registering clockevents twice. This is not very symmetric and causes convuluted code that does the same thing in two places. Patches based on v3.9-rc2. I'm still looking for Acks/Tested-by on EXYNOS and PRIMA2.
