From: Sudeep KarkadaNagesha <redacted>

This patch series adds support to configure the rate and enable the
event stream for architected timer. The event streams can be used to
impose a timeout on a WFE, to safeguard against any programming error
in case an expected event is not generated or even to implement
wfe-based timeouts for userspace locking implementations.

Since the timer control register is reset to zero on warm boot, CPU
PM notifier is added to re-initialize it.

It does not apply to my tree.

Against which tree is this patchset ? Who is supposed to take it ?

As I had mentioned in previous version, because of the conflict, I had
to rebase it on 3.11-rc4

When you have resolved this problem run "git am --resolved".
If you would prefer to skip this patch, instead run "git am --skip".
To restore the original branch and stop patching run "git am --abort".

Changes v2->v3:
1. Moved ARM and ARM64 changes into separate patches
2. Added native hwcaps definations(ARM/ARM64) and compat-specific
   definitions(ARM64) to the users for the event stream feature. 

Ok, we have the choice:
 1. split the patchset into arch/arm changes and drivers/clocksource
 2. I ack the patchset and Olof/Kevin take it
 3. Olof/Kevin ack the patchset and I take it in my tree.

This is really becoming fuzzy.

I am not sure if we need to split it. It would get too messy because of
dependencies. Once we have ACKs from all the corresponding maintainers,
it can go through one of the tree.

If you want a maintainer to take a patchset you have to send an email
--to him and --cc mailing list and others concerned by the patchset.

Ok understood.

Sudeep
