Marc Zyngier 2f0778afac ARM: 7205/2: sched_clock: allow sched_clock to be selected at runtime
sched_clock() is yet another blocker on the road to the single
image. This patch implements an idea by Russell King:

http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-omap/msg49561.html

Instead of asking the platform to implement both sched_clock()
itself and the rollover callback, simply register a read()
function, and let the ARM code care about sched_clock() itself,
the conversion to ns and the rollover. sched_clock() uses
this read() function as an indirection to the platform code.
If the platform doesn't provide a read(), the code falls back
to the jiffy counter (just like the default sched_clock).

This allow some simplifications and possibly some footprint gain
when multiple platforms are compiled in. Among the drawbacks,
the removal of the *_fixed_sched_clock optimization which could
negatively impact some platforms (sa1100, tegra, versatile
and omap).

Tested on 11MPCore, OMAP4 and Tegra.
