Will split them.

I am thinking of adding a wrapper function (function pointer in the 
timer_ops) that will call  (enable/disable)_percpu_irq() based on if the 
said property is defined or not.

I will make sure to keep this open , as in add memory mapped timers as 
well as the possibility of percpu timer interrupts for both memory 
mapped and the cp15 interface.

Done.

I am rebasing this patch on top of Marc's similar patch to add support 
for virtual timers and will fix up the problems you have mentioned.
Thanks for your feedback.
