How is this & patch 6 of the series looking to you from a
drivers/clocksource perspective?

If you're happy with them it'd be great to get an ack so I can take this
through the MIPS tree with the rest of the series. The alternative would
be to get the drivers in first then the MIPS bits in the next release
cycle.

Thanks,
    Paul
