[PATCH 04/69] clocksource/drivers/tegra: Allow timer irq affinity change

From: Lucas Stach <dev at lynxeye.de>

Allow the timer core to change the smp affinity of the broadcast timer
irq by setting CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_DYNIRQ flag.

This reduces interrupt pressure and wakeups on CPU0 as well as vastly
reducing the number of timer broadcast IPIs.
