Hi. I am working on porting linux to ARM 1176-based SoC. My quiestion
is about system time. I see 2 ways of implementing it: 1) Define
struct sys_timer variable and call timer_tick() from timer's interrupt
handler 2) Use clocksource/clockevents. Looks like 2nd way is more
elaborate, but what will I get if choose it?

Thanks, Sergey
