I'd like to thank John Stul and others for helping
me along the way.
A lot of cleanups fell out of this. For example, the get_compare()
tick_op was totally unused, so was deleted. And the most often used
tick_op members were grouped together for cache-friendlyness.
The sparc64 TSC is given to the kernel as a one-shot timer.
tick_ops->init_timer() simply turns off the privileged bit in
the tick register (when possible), and disables the interrupt
by setting bit 63 in the compare register. The ->disable_irq()
op also sets this bit.
tick_ops->add_compare() is changed to:
1) Add the given delta to "tick" not to "compare"
2) Return a boolean which, if true, means that the tick
value read after writing the compare value was found
to have incremented past the initial tick value. This
mirrors logic used in the HPET driver's ->next_event()
method.
Each tick_ops implementation also now provides a name string.
And we feed this into the clocksource and clockevents layers.

It is only used by some localized code in irq.c, and also
delete enable_prom_timer() as that is totally unused.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
