    [PATCH] clockevents: add core functionality · d316c57f
    Thomas Gleixner authored
    Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
    Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use.  The
    clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
    related management events.
    
    This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
    having to worry about the details of function assignment.  This is also a
    preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
    code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
    architecture code.
