 Please, i've just posted an RFC and cc'ed you.
 I would say the implementation is very small. However, perhaps, it's not going to work with active
state switching patch, because as far as i understand the whole thing depends on manipulations with
ARCH_TIMER_CTRL_IT_MASK. Without it i'm going to get multiple interrupts instead of only one. It
would be possible to signal the interrupt as real level-sensitive (since we will be tracking active
state), but... it's not possible to know when to deactivate the line, hardware doesn't report that.
