When I created the patch removing CONFIG_ARCH_GETTIMEOFFSET,
I also had a look at CONFIG_GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS, which is
selected by most, but not all, platforms today, each of the
ones that lack it doing the timer tick slightly differently.
The cleanups here make the old platforms a bit more
consistent, in multiple ways:
- rather than selecting GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS on modern
platforms, select LEGACY_TIMER_TICK on the old ones.
- Hide some more of the internal implementation and only
provide a single common entry point for the timer tick,
which also makes the behavior more consistent.
- Remove the m68k and arm specific infrastructure pieces
and call the common helper directly from each timer
interrupt function.
I tested the series on m68k with the qemu q800 target
platform, both with the legacy_timer_tick() implementation
and after converting that to a periodic clockevent driver.

Arnd Bergmann (13):
timekeeping: add CONFIG_LEGACY_TIMER_TICK
ia64: convert to legacy_timer_tick
ARM: rpc: use legacy_timer_tick
parisc: use legacy_timer_tick
m68k: coldfire: use legacy_timer_tick()
m68k: split heartbeat out of timer function
m68k: sun3/sun3c: use legacy_timer_tick
m68k: m68328: use legacy_timer_tick()
m68k: change remaining timers to legacy_timer_tick
m68k: remove timer_interrupt() function
timekeeping: remove xtime_update
timekeeping: default GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS to enabled
