This is needed for all users of the new timer-baed delay routine.
How about moving this extern declaration to more generic place, in
<asm/timex.h>?

 out_free_irq:
This is arch_timer-land change.  I'd prefer to see general part changes
first, followed by arch_timer ones making use of them.

I've been preparing for lpj_fine with rounding it up by HZ like this:

        lpj_fine = (freq + (HZ/2)) / HZ;

It's not necessarily required, but just in case.

I modified pr_info() at the end of function to print (lpj=%lu),

+	pr_info("Switching to timer-based delay loop (lpj=%lu)\n", lpj_fine);

but turned out to be printed twice, no-so-great:

sched_clock: 32 bits at 13MHz, resolution 76ns, wraps every 330382ms
cmt: CMCLKE e6131000 mapped to e6131000

Console: colour dummy device 80x30
Calibrating delay loop (skipped), value calculated using timer frequency.. 26.04 BogoMIPS (lpj=101562) <<<

Anyway,

Thank for the work, hope this to be merged soon!
