Old platforms using ancient gettimeoffset() and other arcane
APIs are standing in the way of cleaning up the ARM kernel.
The gettimeoffset() was also broken: it would try to read out
the timer counter value, while this would not work (the
counter statically returns the initially programmed value)
so the implementation would anyway fall back to a homebrew
version of jiffie calculation.
This is an attempt at blind-coding a generic time and clocksource
driver for the platform by way of a datasheet and looking at the
old code.

This system does not support suspend/resume so let's skip this
hook altogether.

I have no clue why __raw* macros are used here, but I strongly
suspect there is no good reason at all for this, so removing
another bad example.

This <mach/regs-timer.h> is broadcasted in the entire kernel for
no good reason, since it's only used by the timer driver. Merge
it into the driver.

Move the xtime write mode seqlock into timer_tick(), so it only
surrounds the call to do_timer().
This avoids a deadlock in update_process_times() ...
hrtimer_get_softirq_time() which tries to get a read mode seqlock
on xtime, thereby preventing booting.

Add core support for the Kendin/Micrel KS8695 processor family.
It is an ARM922-T based SoC with integrated USART, 4-port Ethernet
Switch, WAN Ethernet port, and optional PCI Host bridge, etc.
http://www.micrel.com/page.do?page=product-info/sys_on_chip.jsp
This patch is based on earlier patches from Lennert Buytenhek, Ben
Dooks and Greg Ungerer posted to the arm-linux-kernel mailing list in
March 2006; and Micrel's 2.6.9 port.
