Update AT91SAM9/CAP9 PIT driver to use generic time and clockevent
infrastructure:
- Clocksource gives sub-microsecond timestamp precision, assuming
memory is clocked at over 16 MHz. It's less than a 32 bit counter,
unless it's is also generating IRQs.
- Clockevent device supports periodic mode only; no oneshot
support from this hardware. No IRQs generated unless it's the
active clocksource.
Later, another timer (probably from a TC module) can provide a oneshot
clockevent device to get NO_HZ and High-Res-Timer behavior.
This also updates the timekeeping to use the actual master clock rate
on the system, instead of compile-time <asm/arch/timex.h> constants
matching what Atmel's EK boards use. (Product boards may well differ!)
Plus cleanup: rename "*_timer*" symbols to "*_pit*" (there are other
timers, but only one PIT); shorter lines; remove needless CPP stuff;
make several symbols static; etc.

Currently early kernel messages, i.e., those from uncompression, go to the
debugging UART. And if it is enabled in the platform configuration, but
not initialized by the bootloader, the machine hangs, waiting for UART
status change. Besides, having those messages on another UART - typically
the console UART - may be preferrable. This patch allows selecting the
UART in kernel configuration.

This makes HZ configurable on AT91, following the model used on OMAP.
It defaults to a power of two on AT91rm9200 chips, avoiding rounding
errors which come from dividing a 32 KiHz clock to generate scheduler
irqs; and uses 100 on AT91sam926x chips, using MCK/16 (multi-MHZ).

GENERIC_TIME and GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS support for the at91rm9200.
- Oneshot mode (used for NO_HZ and high res timers) uses the
alarm to emulate a real oneshot timer; the trickiest bit is
how to avoid some lowlevel races. Thanks to Remy Bohmer for
various fixes to this code.
- Tighten up periodic mode support using the PIT.
- Streamline reads of the 32KHz counter. Thanks to Marc Pignat
for some testing results: the CRTR register has *very* odd
behavior. The reread appears to work around stranger glitches
than just getting an old clock value (which would quickly
self-correct).
- Remove the rounding-up of tick_usec to 10.009 msec (32KiHz/100),
since that no longer acts correct (time increases too fast).
Note that the at91sam9 and at91x40 chips need other solutions,
since they don't have the same system timer module.

Now that Linux includes support for the Atmel AT91SAM9260 and
AT91SAM9261 processors in addition to the original Atmel AT91RM9200
(with support for more AT91 processors pending), the "mach-at91rm9200"
and "arch-at91rm9200" directories should be renamed to indicate their
more generic nature.
The following git commands should be run BEFORE applying this patch:
git-mv arch/arm/mach-at91rm9200 arch/arm/mach-at91
git-mv include/asm-arm/arch-at91rm9200 include/asm-arm/arch-at91
