Untested, but this should fix up the bulk of the totally mechanical
issues, and should make the actual detail fixing easier.

This patch adds Generic time-of-day support for the ARM architecture.
The support is currently added using #ifdef's so that it can support
sub-arches that do not (yet) have a clocksource added. As sub-arches
add clocksource support, they should 'select GENERIC_TIME'

Linus: "The hacks in kernel/irq/handle.c are really horrid. REALLY
horrid."
They are indeed. Move the dyntick quirks to ARM where they belong.

This call allows the dynamic tick support to reprogram the timer
immediately before the CPU idles.

This patch adds support for Dynamic Tick Timer for ARM. Dynamic Tick is
also known as VST (Variable Scheduling Timeouts).
Dynamic Tick has been in use in the OMAP tree since last October. The
patch is not intrusive, and does not do anything unless CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ
is defined. This patch has the following fixed based on comments from
RMK:
- Time is updated before calling interrupt handlers.
- Added new interrupt flag SA_TIMER to avoid duplicate timer interrupts
- Moved struct dyn_tick_timer to time.h until we at some point probably
have an arch independent dyn-tick.h
- Cleaned up testing for DYN_TICK_ENABLED in irq.c
I've cleaned up this patch to fix some remaining issues:
- Call the timer tick handler with irqs disabled, as it would be from
a normal interrupt
- if we have a dyn_tick, we better implement all methods.
- generic timer_dyn_reprogram() call, to be called before sleeping
- added command line option - "dyntick=" to allow boot-time control
of this feature

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
