parisc has selected CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS since commit 43b1f6abd590

appear to actually be using it, and instead calls the low-level
timekeeping functions directly.
Arnd, thank you for this patch!
It reminded me that I really missed to fully implement the clockevents on parisc!
Your other patch ("RFC: m68k: mac: convert to generic clockevent")
was a big help too, as it showed how it might work on parisc as well.
Here is now a current version of the clockevents-enabling-patch for parisc:

Ah, nice!
Remove the GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS select again, and instead convert to
the newly added legacy_timer_tick() helper.
My patch still needs more testing, but if it turns to work
out right, would you mind to drop your patch for parisc?
I think it would be easier if you could base your patch on top of
my series, as they would otherwise inevitably conflict. I could either
add it to my tree, or you could merge my branch into your tree.
