* 'timers-clocksource-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/linux-2.6-tip:
clocksource: apb: Share APB timer code with other platforms
arm, mips and x86 implement i8253 based clockevents. All the same code
copied. Create a common implementation in drivers/clocksource/i8253.c.
About time to rename drivers/clocksource/ to something else.

The APB timers are an IP block from Synopsys (DesignWare APB timers)
and are also found in other systems including ARM SoC's. This patch
adds functions for creating clock_event_devices and clocksources from
APB timers but does not do the resource allocation. This is handled
in a higher layer to allow the timers to be created from multiple
methods such as platform_devices.

Move them to drivers/clocksource/i8253.c and remove the
implementations in arch/
[ tglx: Avoid the extra file in lib - folded arch patches in. The
export will become conditional in a later step ]

Add a generic mmio clocksource, covering both 32-bit and 16-bit register
access sizes, for up or down counters. This can be used to easily
create clocksources for simple counter-based implementations.

Move the CS5535 MFGPT hrtimer kconfig option to be with the other MFGPT
options. This makes it easier to find and also removes it from the main
"Device Drivers" menu, where it should not have been.

This is based on the old code in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, but is
modular and not Geode-specific. There's no reason why the clock event
device needs to be registered so early at boot; the clockevent code is
perfectly capable of dynamic switching.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add linux/irq.h include]
