The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.
After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.
This removes all the drivers/clocksource and drivers/irqchip uses of
the __cpuinit macros from all C files.

This is a simple driver for the global timer module found in the Cortex
A9-MP cores from revision r1p0 onwards. This should be able to perform
the functions of the system timer and the local timer in an SMP system.
The global timer has the following features:
The global timer is a 64-bit incrementing counter with an
auto-incrementing feature. It continues incrementing after sending
interrupts. The global timer is memory mapped in the private memory
region.
The global timer is accessible to all Cortex-A9 processors in the
cluster. Each Cortex-A9 processor has a private 64-bit comparator that
is used to assert a private interrupt when the global timer has reached
the comparator value. All the Cortex-A9 processors in a design use the
banked ID, ID27, for this interrupt. ID27 is sent to the Interrupt
Controller as a Private Peripheral Interrupt. The global timer is
clocked by PERIPHCLK.
