Indeed, this commit message is a bit useless as it only describe what is 
done not why...

The reason for this is that dynamic allocator is not ready yet when 
early_init callback is called,
and new at91 clk implementation calls kzalloc functions.
It is moved in timer_init (before timer init) because at91sam9 init 
timer (pit timer) request the
mck clk which is registered by at91 clk init function.

I'll change this commit message in the next version.
