I agree. For clockevents, I suppose you get CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN/UNUSED
when the clockevent isn't used, but for clocksource, I don't get how it is supposed
to work. When a clocksource is registered or changed, clocksource.c:clock_select() 
is called, but it does not look like the clocksources involved get informed about 
the change, if there is any change.

Ok. Thanks for your comments!
