  • Install the callbacks via the state machine and let the core invoke
    the callbacks on the already online CPUs.

  • Migrate metag_generic driver to the new 'set-state' interface provided
    by clockevents core, the earlier 'set-mode' interface is marked obsolete
    now.

    This also enables us to implement callbacks for new states of clockevent
    devices, for example: ONESHOT_STOPPED.

    We weren't doing anything in the ->set_mode() callback. Even the WARN()
    for periodic or unused modes isn't required anymore as the core is
    taking care of that now. So, this patch doesn't provide any set-state
    callbacks.

  • The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
    some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
    do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
    commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
    is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
    with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

    After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
    the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
    we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

    This removes all the drivers/clocksource and drivers/irqchip uses of
    the __cpuinit macros from all C files.

  • Add time keeping code for metag. Meta hardware threads have 2 timers.
    The background timer (TXTIMER) is used as a free-running time base, and
    the interrupt timer (TXTIMERI) is used for the timer interrupt. Both
    counters traditionally count at approximately 1MHz.
