Rusty Russell 320ab2b0b1 cpumask: convert struct clock_event_device to cpumask pointers.
Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs

struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,
as does the ->broadcast function.

Another single-patch change.  For safety, we BUG_ON() in
clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.

David Brownell 3ee08aea72 tclib: Fix compile warnings
Does that have something analagous to this "remove warnings" patch?
Seems setup_clkevents() no longer needs a t0_clk parameter either...

David Brownell 4d243f92e4 atmel_tc clocksource/clockevent code
Clocksource and clockevent device based on the Atmel TC blocks.

The clockevent device handles both periodic and oneshot modes, so this
enables NO_HZ and high res timers on some platforms that previously
couldn't use those mechanisms.

This works on both AVR32 and AT91 chips, given relevant patches for
tclib support (always) and clockevents (or else this will only look
like a higher precision clocksource).  It's an updated and modularized
version of an AT91-only patch that has circulated for some time now.

Changes relative to the original patch:
  * Update to use new tclib API
  * Replace open-coded do-while loop using goto with a real do-while loop
  * Minor irq handler optimization: Load register base address from
    dev_id instead of a global variable.
  * Aggressively turn off clocks when the clockevent isn't being used
  * Include the clockevent code on AT91RM9200 as well. The rating is
    lower than the System Timer, so the clock will usually stay off.
  * Don't assume that the number of clocks is always equal to the
    number of irqs.
