This series is the second version of the rework of the patches to support
architected timers with a userspace irqchip sent by Alexander Graf [1].

We first cleanup some of the timer code to make it easier to understand
what is being done in the later patches, and then define the ABI,
implement timers support, implement PMU support, and finally advertise
the features.

These patches are based on the recent work from Jintack to support the
physical timer in addition to the virtual timer.  This series including
its dependencies can be found here:

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/cdall/linux.git irqs-to-user-v3

I tested this using Alex's QEMU patch with his fixes for SMP applied.  This
seems to be rock-solid.  The temporary-not-for-upstream-but-for-testing patch
can be found here (force-pushed and rebased since v2):

https://git.linaro.org/people/christoffer.dall/qemu-arm.git no-kvm-irqchip

I also tested it on 32-bit and it looks good there as well.
