Merge tag 'remove-local-timers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davidb/linux-msm into next/cleanup
From Stephen Boyd: Now that we have a generic arch hook for broadcast we can remove the local timer API entirely. Doing so will reduce code in ARM core, reduce the architecture dependencies of our timer drivers, and simplify the code because we no longer go through an architecture layer that is essentially a hotplug notifier. * tag 'remove-local-timers' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davidb/linux-msm: ARM: smp: Remove local timer API clocksource: time-armada-370-xp: Divorce from local timer API clocksource: time-armada-370-xp: Fix sparse warning ARM: msm: Divorce msm_timer from local timer API ARM: PRIMA2: Divorce timer-marco from local timer API ARM: EXYNOS4: Divorce mct from local timer API ARM: OMAP2+: Divorce from local timer API ARM: smp_twd: Divorce smp_twd from local timer API ARM: smp: Remove duplicate dummy timer implementation Resolved a large number of conflicts due to __cpuinit cleanups, etc. Signed-off-by: Olof Johansson <olof@lixom.net>

- Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
- legacy IPI broadcast method. Local timers allows the system
- accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
- "thundering herd" at every timer tick.
