From: Rob Herring <rob.herring at calxeda.com>
Use straight 64-bit values as 64-bit operations are fairly efficient on ARM.
Comparing the asm output with and without KTIME_SCALAR, using 64-bit math
generates clearly better code.
Comparing kernel/hrtimer.c .text size, it goes from 0x1414 to 0x119c with
this change.
