So all mips_timer_ack users should implement its own clockevent device, right? $ git-grep mips_timer_ack arch/mips arch/mips/dec/time.c: mips_timer_ack = dec_timer_ack; arch/mips/jmr3927/rbhma3100/setup.c: mips_timer_ack = jmr3927_timer_ack; arch/mips/philips/pnx8550/common/time.c: mips_timer_ack = timer_ack; arch/mips/sni/time.c: mips_timer_ack = sni_a20r_timer_ack; --- Atsushi Nemoto
