I picked that up and it did not make any difference we are still stuck
calibrating the timer.

The qemu command-line is the following:
qemu-system-arm -M realview-eb-mpcore -kernel
bin/realview/openwrt-realview-vmlinux.elf -nographic -m 768 -append
"earlyprintk console=ttyAMA0"
And the kernel command-line is:
console=ttyAMA0 mem=128M
CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER is set, so only the command-line from qemu
actually matters.
Thanks!
