Regression since v3.11 on ARM shmobile ape6evm board

[Simon Horman]

Hi,

I have noticed what appears to be a regression since v3.11
in Thierry Reding's next-20131017.

The effect, when booting the ape6evm board which is based on the r8a73a4
using its defconfig is that the boot does not proceed past the bootloader.

I see the following:

## Booting kernel from Legacy Image at 41000000 ...
   Image Name:   Linux-3.12.0-rc1-00012-g65cd4f6
   Image Type:   ARM Linux Kernel Image (uncompressed)
   Data Size:    2208640 Bytes = 2.1 MiB
   Load Address: 40008000
   Entry Point:  40008000
   Verifying Checksum ... OK
   Loading Kernel Image ... OK
OK

Starting kernel ...

I have not investigated the problem any further.

    arch_timer: Move to generic sched_clock framework
    
    Register with the generic sched_clock framework now that it
    supports 64 bits. This fixes two problems with the current
    sched_clock support for machines using the architected timers.
    First off, we don't subtract the start value from subsequent
    sched_clock calls so we can potentially start off with
    sched_clock returning gigantic numbers. Second, there is no
    support for suspend/resume handling so problems such as discussed
    in 6a4dae5 (ARM: 7565/1: sched: stop sched_clock() during
    suspend, 2012-10-23) can happen without this patch. Finally, it
    allows us to move the sched_clock setup into drivers clocksource
    out of the arch ports.
