  ARM: local timers: make the runtime registration interface mandatory
  ARM: local timers: convert MSM to runtime registration interface
  ARM: local timers: convert exynos to runtime registration interface
  ARM: smp_twd: remove old local timer interface
  ARM: imx6q: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: highbank: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: ux500: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: shmobile: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: tegra: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: plat-versatile: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: OMAP4: convert to twd_local_timer_register() interface
  ARM: smp_twd: add device tree support
  ARM: smp_twd: add runtime registration support
  ARM: local timers: introduce a new registration interface
  ARM: smp_twd: make local_timer_stop a symbol instead of a #define
