Perhaps this fits better in armksyms.c? That way it lives with
arm_delay_ops and friends.

It's always much better to put things next to where they're defined
rather than spreading them around.

armksyms.c is a reminant of the 1.x days of doing things... but still
remains to allow what are mostly assembly symbols to be exported.

I needed that to build udlfb as a module.

For the 3.6 stable kernels this has to be done in
arch/arm/kernel/arch_timer.c (along with an #include <linux/export.h>)

So I'm not sure if an Cc: [off-list ref] can be used here, but 
a patch should be submitted for inclusion into the 3.6 stable series too.

Alexander
