GENERIC_TIME and GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS support for the at91rm9200.
- Oneshot mode (used for NO_HZ and high res timers) uses the
alarm to emulate a real oneshot timer; the trickiest bit is
how to avoid some lowlevel races. Thanks to Remy Bohmer for
various fixes to this code.
- Tighten up periodic mode support using the PIT.
- Streamline reads of the 32KHz counter. Thanks to Marc Pignat
for some testing results: the CRTR register has *very* odd
behavior. The reread appears to work around stranger glitches
than just getting an old clock value (which would quickly
self-correct).
- Remove the rounding-up of tick_usec to 10.009 msec (32KiHz/100),
since that no longer acts correct (time increases too fast).
Note that the at91sam9 and at91x40 chips need other solutions,
since they don't have the same system timer module.

Now that Linux includes support for the Atmel AT91SAM9260 and
AT91SAM9261 processors in addition to the original Atmel AT91RM9200
(with support for more AT91 processors pending), the "mach-at91rm9200"
and "arch-at91rm9200" directories should be renamed to indicate their
more generic nature.
The following git commands should be run BEFORE applying this patch:
git-mv arch/arm/mach-at91rm9200 arch/arm/mach-at91
git-mv include/asm-arm/arch-at91rm9200 include/asm-arm/arch-at91
