Cover letter [RFC PATCH 0/5] x86_64: enable clockevents and dynticks
This series converts x86_64 timers to clockevents drivers and then enables dynticks. There's some minor cleanups along the way. The lapic broadcast mechanism is untested, I'm sure it still needs work, there's still some cruft in lapic_setup_timer.
This is just for comments at this point, now that it's working on my test box in both NO_HZ=n and NO_HZ=n configurations (typically using hpet).
thanks,
-chris
