The versatile platform has not been able to boot in qemu since 2.6.34-rc2,
because e388771 "ARM: Realview/Versatile: separate out common SP804
timer code" changed the behavior of the versatile_set_mode function.
This restores the original way it worked until 2.6.34-rc1.

I found this with git-bisect. I do not know wether the old behavior
that this reverts to is sensible, but it's how both versatile and
realview have been doing it since they first started using clockevents.
I also don't know if the same problem exists on actual versatile
hardware or if it's really a qemu bug.
Please apply in combination with common sense. If it's correct, do
we also want the same change in 2.6.34.x-stable?
