[PATCH v3 0/6] ARM/ARM64 architected timer updates

[Sudeep KarkadaNagesha]

From: Sudeep KarkadaNagesha <sudeep.karkadanagesha@xxxxxxx>

This patch series adds support to configure the rate and enable the
event stream for architected timer. The event streams can be used to
impose a timeout on a WFE, to safeguard against any programming error
in case an expected event is not generated or even to implement
wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations.

Since the timer control register is reset to zero on warm boot, CPU
PM notifier is added to re-initialize it.

Changes v2->v3:
1. Moved ARM and ARM64 changes into separate patches
2. Added native hwcaps definations(ARM/ARM64) and compat-specific
   definitions(ARM64) to the users for the event stream feature. 

Changes v1->v2:
1. Saved event stream divider value on cold reset path and re-used it
   in CPU PM notifier instead of calculating every time.
2. Rebased on v3.11-rc2(to avoid conflicts with __cpuinit* deletion)
3. Dropped "ARM/ARM64: arch_timer: remove __cpuinit attribute for
   arch_counter_set_user_access"(already done as part of __cpuinit*
   deletion)

Regards,
Sudeep
