I've implemented your requested changes for timer-sp code. The problem 
with doing the same thing with smp_twd timer is I don't know what the 
frequency of the timer is on various platforms or an understanding of 
what their clock trees look like to do a proper implementation of the 
clocks. I could make calling twd_timer_init mandatory and replace direct 
setting of twd_base, but it would still fall back to calculating the 
rate if no clock found. These are the current users:
