The biggest actual changes are the support for tickless kernels on MIPS

and the rewrite for many of the timer devices previously used as

clocksources and clockevents.  Various cleanups, including some moving

of code and support for 32-bit Broadcom BCM47XX processors, the return

of support for LASAT which isn't quite as unused as previously thought ...

The number of patch lines and files is inflated by two large whitespace

cleanup patches.
