The kernel uses l14 timers as clockevents. l10 timer is used
as clocksource if platform master_l10_counter isn't constantly
zero. The clocksource is continuous, so it's possible to use
high resolution timers. l10 timer is also used as clockevent
on UP configurations.
This realization is for sun4m, sun4d, sun4c, microsparc-IIep
and LEON platforms. The appropriate LEON changes was made by
Konrad Eisele.
In case of sun4m's oneshot mode, profile irq is zeroed in
smp4m_percpu_timer_interrupt(). It is maybe
needless (double, triple etc overflow does nothing).
sun4d is able to have oneshot mode too, but I haven't
any way to test it. So code of its percpu timer handler
is made as much equal to the current code as possible.
The patch is tested on sun4m box in SMP mode by me,
and tested by Konrad on leon in up mode (leon smp
is broken atm - due to other reasons).

The current sparc32 SMP IPI generation is implemented the
cross call function. The cross call function uses IRQ15 the
NMI, this is has the effect that IPIs will interrupt IRQ
critical areas and hang the system. Typically on/after
spin_lock_irqsave calls can be aborted.
The cross call functionality must still exist to flush
cache/TLBS.
This patch provides CPU models a custom way to implement
generation of IPIs on the generic code's request. The
typical approach is to generate an IRQ for each IPI case.
After this patch each sparc32 SMP CPU model needs to
implement IPIs in order to function properly.

The majority of this patch was created by the following script:
***
ASM=arch/sparc/include/asm
mkdir -p $ASM
git mv include/asm-sparc64/ftrace.h $ASM
git rm include/asm-sparc64/*
git mv include/asm-sparc/* $ASM
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc64/asm/g' $ASM/*
sed -ie 's/asm-sparc/asm/g' $ASM/*
***
The rest was an update of the top-level Makefile to use sparc
for header files when sparc64 is being build.
And a small fixlet to pick up the correct unistd.h from
sparc64 code.
