Patch from Andrew Victor
Use a global variable 'last_crtr' to store the time of the last timer
tick instead of the ST_RTAR register.
It's faster, frees up the ST_RTAR register for other uses, and hopefully
makes the code more understandable. [Patch from Peter Menzebach]
Also add the SA_TIMER flag to Timer IRQ. (It seems to be required for
the realtime preempt patch).

Patch from Andrew Victor
If the timer interrupt is ever significantly delayed (or after the
system was suspended), the system could spin incrementing the time for
too long.
The fix is to replace the "do {} while" with a "while {}".

Patch from SAN People
Following changes were made to clock.c:
1) Replaced <asm/hardware/clock.h> with <linux/clk.h>
2) Removed old unused clk_enable & clk_disable.
3) Replaced clk_use/clk_unuse with clk_enable/clk_disable.
Otherwise it's the same as the previous patch.
