[RFC/PATCH 1/2] Basic generic time/clocksource code for PowerPC

2007-09-06 Thread Paul Mackerras
This changes PowerPC to use the generic time infrastructure for gettimeofday et al. We register a clocksource which uses the timebase register, or the RTC on the 601. It also gets rid of the RTC update stuff. IIRC we discussed removing this some time ago but never actually did it. This is based
