clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast receiver
Currently the broadcast mechanism used for timers is abstracted by a
function pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental
mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each
clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the
driver is otherwise generic.

This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so
drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of
timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.

[tglx: Made the implementation depend on the config switch as well ]

clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function
Currently, the timer broadcast mechanism is defined by a function
pointer on struct clock_event_device. As the fundamental mechanism for
broadcast is architecture-specific, this means that clock_event_device
drivers cannot be shared across multiple architectures.

This patch adds an (optional) architecture-specific function for timer
tick broadcast, allowing drivers which may require broadcast
functionality to be shared across multiple architectures.

clockevents: Fix generic broadcast for FEAT_C3STOP

Commit 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast function"
made tick_device_uses_broadcast set up the generic broadcast function
for dummy devices (where !tick_device_is_functional(dev)), but neglected
to set up the broadcast function for devices that stop in low power
states (with the CLOCK_EVT_FEAT_C3STOP flag).

When these devices enter low power states they will not have the generic
broadcast function assigned, and will bring down the system when an
attempt is made to broadcast to them.

This patch ensures that the broadcast function is also assigned for
devices which require broadcast in low power states.

arm: Use generic timer broadcast receiver
Currently, the ARM backend must maintain a redundant list of timers for
the purpose of centralising timer broadcast functionality. This prevents
sharing timer drivers across architectures.

This patch moves the pain of dealing with timer broadcasts to the core
clockevents tick broadcast code, which already maintains its own list
of timers.

ARM: 7651/1: remove unused smp_timer_broadcast #define

The assignment of clock_event_device::broadcast can be done by timer
core as of 12ad100046: "clockevents: Add generic timer broadcast
function", and the arm code moved over to this as of 3d06770eef: "arm:
Add generic timer broadcast support", but left a dangling #define when
!CONFIG_GENERIC_TIMER_BROADCAST.

This patch removes the now unused #define.

time: remove the timecompare code.
This patch removes the timecompare code from the kernel. The top five
reasons to do this are:

1. There are no more users of this code.
2. The original idea was a bit weak.
3. The original author has disappeared.
4. The code was not general purpose but tuned to a particular hardware,
5. There are better ways to accomplish clock synchronization.
