[PATCHv2 0/5] arm: arch_timer cleanups and niceties

The following patches clean up some (harmless) fallout from the changes
in 3.9, and make the driver always use the virtual counter, eliminating
problems relating to choosing which counters to use (racy
initialisation, branches in hot paths).

The patches can also be found in my public git tree:
git://linux-arm.org/git/linux-mr.git clocks/arch-timer-cleanups

Since v1 [1]:
* Rebased to v3.10-rc1
* Fix up mach-shmobile's selection of ARCH_ARM_TIMER

Thanks,
Mark.
