Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs
struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,
as does the ->broadcast function.
Another single-patch change. For safety, we BUG_ON() in
clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.

There is a ordering related problem with clockevents code, due to which
clockevents_register_device() called after tickless/highres switch
will not work. The new clockevent ends up with clockevents_handle_noop as
event handler, resulting in no timer activity.
The problematic path seems to be
* old device already has hrtimer_interrupt as the event_handler
* new clockevent device registers with a higher rating
* tick_check_new_device() is called
* clockevents_exchange_device() gets called
* old->event_handler is set to clockevents_handle_noop
* tick_setup_device() is called for the new device
* which sets new->event_handler using the old->event_handler which is noop.
Change the ordering so that new device inherits the proper handler.
This does not have any issue in normal case as most likely all the clockevent
devices are setup before the highres switch. But, can potentially be affecting
some corner case where HPET force detect happens after the highres switch.
This was a problem with HPET in MSI mode code that we have been experimenting
with.

The 64bit SMP bootup is slightly different to the 32bit one. It enables
the boot CPU local APIC timer before all CPUs are brought up. Some AMD C1E
systems have the C1E feature flag only set in the secondary CPU. Due to
the early enable of the boot CPU local APIC timer the APIC timer is
registered as a fully functional device. When we detect the wreckage during
the bringup of the secondary CPU, we need to force the boot CPU into
broadcast mode.
Add a new notifier reason and implement the force broadcast in the clock
events layer.

Migration aid to allow preparatory patches which introduce not yet
used parts of clock events code.

I find a function(clockevents_unregister_notifier) which is not called by

We need to make sure, that the clockevent devices are resumed, before
the tick is resumed. The current resume logic does not guarantee this.
Add CLOCK_EVT_MODE_RESUME and call the set mode functions of the clock
event devices before resuming the tick / oneshot functionality.
Fixup the existing users.
Thanks to Nigel Cunningham for tracking down a long standing thinko,
which affected the jinxed VAIO.

Architectures register their clock event devices, in the clock events core.
Users of the clockevents core can get clock event devices for their use. The
clockevents core code provides notification mechanisms for various clock
related management events.
This allows to control the clock event devices without the architectures
having to worry about the details of function assignment. This is also a
preliminary for high resolution timers and dynamic ticks to allow the core
code to control the clock functionality without intrusive changes to the
architecture code.
