Thomas Gleixner 291bc047e1 [PATCH] clockevents: remove bad designed sysfs support for now
The current sysfs support of clockevents does not obey the "only one
value per file" rule.

The real fix is not 2.6.21 material. Therefor remove the sysfs support
for now.

Thomas Gleixner d316c57ff6 [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionality
Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use.  The
clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
related management events.

This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
having to worry about the details of function assignment.  This is also a
preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
architecture code.
