Hmm this leaves duplicate arch/arm/plat-omap/dmtimer.c code, please
sort out that issue too by allowing omap1 and omap3 still to use
the legacy timer init functions but with timer code under
drivers/clocksource/omap-timer.c.

And not the that drivers/clocksource/omap-timer.h won't be needed at
all, those defines can stay private to the drivers/clocksource/omap-timer.c.

So this patch really should just be moving of the code to the new
location.

Tony
