Since we already moved to GENERIC_TIME, we should implement alternatives
of old do_gettimeoffset routines to get sub-jiffies resolution from
gettimeofday(). This patch includes:
* MIPS clocksource support (based on works by Manish Lachwani).
* remove unused gettimeoffset routines and related codes.
* remove unised 64bit do_div64_32().
* simplify mips_hpt_init. (no argument needed, __init tag)
* simplify c0_hpt_timer_init. (no need to write to c0_count)
* remove some hpt_init routines.
* mips_hpt_mask variable to specify bitmask of hpt value.
* convert jmr3927_do_gettimeoffset to jmr3927_hpt_read.
* convert ip27_do_gettimeoffset to ip27_hpt_read.
* convert bcm1480_do_gettimeoffset to bcm1480_hpt_read.
* simplify sb1250 hpt functions. (no need to subtract and shift)

This patch-queue improves the generic IRQ layer to be truly generic, by adding
various abstractions and features to it, without impacting existing
functionality.
While the queue can be best described as "fix and improve everything in the
generic IRQ layer that we could think of", and thus it consists of many
smaller features and lots of cleanups, the one feature that stands out most is
the new 'irq chip' abstraction.
The irq-chip abstraction is about describing and coding and IRQ controller
driver by mapping its raw hardware capabilities [and quirks, if needed] in a
straightforward way, without having to think about "IRQ flow"
(level/edge/etc.) type of details.
This stands in contrast with the current 'irq-type' model of genirq
architectures, which 'mixes' raw hardware capabilities with 'flow' details.
The patchset supports both types of irq controller designs at once, and
converts i386 and x86_64 to the new irq-chip design.
As a bonus side-effect of the irq-chip approach, chained interrupt controllers
(master/slave PIC constructs, etc.) are now supported by design as well.
The end result of this patchset intends to be simpler architecture-level code
and more consolidation between architectures.
We reused many bits of code and many concepts from Russell King's ARM IRQ
layer, the merging of which was one of the motivations for this patchset.
This patch:
rename desc->handler to desc->chip.
Originally i did not want to do this, because it's a big patch. But having
both "desc->handler", "desc->handle_irq" and "action->handler" caused a
large degree of confusion and made the code appear alot less clean than it
truly is.
I have also attempted a dual approach as well by introducing a
desc->chip alias - but that just wasnt robust enough and broke
frequently.
So lets get over with this quickly. The conversion was done automatically
via scripts and converts all the code in the kernel.
This renaming patch is the first one amongst the patches, so that the
remaining patches can stay flexible and can be merged and split up
without having some big monolithic patch act as a merge barrier.

Historically plat_mem_setup did the entire platform initialization. This
was rather impractical because it meant plat_mem_setup had to get away
without any kind of memory allocator. To keep old code from breaking
plat_setup was just renamed to plat_setup and a second platform
initialization hook for anything else was introduced.

Saves like 1,600 lines of code, is way easier to debug, compilers
frequently do a better job than the cut and paste type of handlers many
boards had. And finally having all the stuff done in a single place
also means alot of bug potencial for the MT ASE is gone.
The only surviving handler in assembler is the DECstation one; I hope
Maciej will rewrite it.

Many RTC routines were not protected against each other, so there are
potential races, for example, ntp-update against /dev/rtc. This patch
fixes them using rtc_lock.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
