Russell King 664399e1fb [ARM] Wrap calls to descriptor handlers
This is part of Thomas Gleixner's generic IRQ patch, which converts
ARM to use the generic IRQ subsystem.  Here, we wrap calls to
desc->handler() in an inline function, desc_handle_irq().  This
reduces the size of Thomas' patch since the changes become more
localised.

Russell King 7801907b8c [ARM] Change irq_chip wake/type methods to set_wake/set_type
This is part of Thomas Gleixner's generic IRQ patch, which converts
ARM to use the generic IRQ subsystem.  Here, we rename two of the
irq_chip methods - wake becomes set_wake, and type becomes set_type.

Russell King 8749af6821 [PATCH] ARM: Generic Dynamic Tick Timer support for ARM, take 4
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

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
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!
