Arnd, thank you for this patch!
It reminded me that I really missed to fully implement the clockevents on parisc!

Your other patch ("RFC: m68k: mac: convert to generic clockevent")
was a big help too, as it showed how it might work on parisc as well.

Here is now a current version of the clockevents-enabling-patch for parisc:

My patch still needs more testing, but if it turns to work
out right, would you mind to drop your patch for parisc?
