ARM: 7444/1: kernel: add arch-timer C3STOP feature
When a CPU is shutdown its architected timer comparators registers are
lost. Within CPU idle, before processors enter shutdown they enter
clock events broadcast mode through the
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_ENTER, cpuid);
function where the local timers are emulated by a global always-on timer.
On CPU resume, the per-CPU tick device normal mode is restored by exiting
broadcast mode through
clockevents_notify(CLOCK_EVT_NOTIFY_BROADCAST_EXIT, cpuid);
In order for this mechanism to function, architected timers should add to
their feature C3STOP, which means that they are not able to function when the
CPU is in off-mode.
