	The problem in the current upstream mmp timer handling code
	that appears to be triggered here is that it handles clockevents
	by setting up a comparator on the free-running clocksource timer
	to match and trigger an interrupt at 'current_time + delta',
	which if delta is small enough can lead to 'current_time + delta'
	already being in the past when comparator setup has finished,
	and the requested event will not trigger. 

What this patch does is to rewrite the timer handling code to use
two timers, one for the free-running clocksource, and one to trigger
clockevents with, which is more or less the standard approach to this.
It's kind of invasive, though (certainly more invasive than it strictly
needs to be, as it reorganises time.c somewhat at the same time), and
something like this is probably too invasive for 3.0 at this point.

A safer "fix" for 3.0 may be to disallow NO_HZ/HIGH_RES_TIMERS on mmp.

Any thoughts?


thanks,
Lennert
