Re: [v3, 3/3] MIPS: VDSO: Add implementations of gettimeofday() and clock_gettime()

You can not use R4K CP0_count in SMP (multicore) without core-specific adjustment. After first power-saving with core clock off or core down the values in CP0_count
in different cores are absolutely different.

Until you include in system a patch like http://patchwork.linux-mips.org/patch/10871/

"MIPS: Setup an instruction emulation in VDSO protected page instead of user stack"

which creates a per-thread memory and put into that memory an adjustment value (which can be changed during re-schedule to another core), the use of R4K counter is incorrect
in SMP environment.

Note: It is also possible to setup and maintain a per-core page with that value too as
an alternative variant for adjustment.
