[PATCH v2 2/4] ARM: architected timers: Add A15 specific sched_clock implementation

Wed Feb 1 11:59:33 EST 2012
Provide an A15 sched_clock implementation using the virtual counter,
which is thought to be more useful than the physical one in a
virtualised environment, as it can offset the time spent in another
VM or the hypervisor.
