Does anyone have the definitive patchset to enable the tickless hz,
some kind of hrtimer and the other related improvements in the
PowerPC tree?
I use attached patches for tickless.
Order in which they're applied:
PowerPC_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.patch
Argh! Finally had forgotten to attach a fixlet for this one, somewaht
adjusting the code for classic PPC decrementer.

WBR, Sergei
PS: All attached patches are against 2.6.21-rt2 -- fitting them into the
current (or whatever) version of the kernel is left as an excercise to
the readers. ;-)
This one is for 2.6.21-rt2 as well.
Uncoditionally set a maximum positive value to the decrementer before calling
an event handler for all "classic" PPC CPUs (although this is only necessary
to clear interrupt on POWER4+, I've been asked to do it this way) -- otherwise
it wouldn't have been done for an offline CPU in periodic mode since the event
reprogramming has been delegated to the timer subsystem.
Also, as the classic decrementer doesn't have periodic mode, make set_mode()
method for this case completely empty.
While at it, add a switch case for CLOCK_EVT_MODE_RESUME to hush the warning.
