What's wrong with OMAP-specific debug interfaces?   We have plenty of
them: clock, omap_mux and pm_debug.

Well, we won't have a truly generic way of doing it until we have a
generic way of doing HW timers.

The implementation is now mostly generic in the patch Santosh referened
above in that the timer programming is now done as part of the
clockevent code, and not external timer programming.

So now, the only thing OMAP-specific is the debugfs file used to trigger
it.

I'd prefer to keep it in mainline as this is a very important feature
for the PM functionality already in mainline.
