Certain ARMV7 cpus eg. CortexA9 contains a local and a global timer

CPU core itself. This patch adds generic support for local timer.
What would be the use of such timer support? Is there any code that actually needs it, and why does it need anything beyond the existing timer support we have?
Hi wolfgang: I think vipin here is trying to provide a generic timer support for ARMV7 architecture, which contains private(local) and global timer. It's general a good thing which means we can maximize the code usage.. Actually I was planing to test the code, but haven't find the time yet ;-)
Hi vipin: why you only support local timer(private)? shouldn't it different to support global timer too?
Best regards,
