[PATCH 3/8] x86/mrst: add more timer options to include Medfield

From: Jacob Pan
Date: Fri May 14 2010 - 17:52:03 EST


Medfield has added always-on lapic timer which will be ranked higher
than the platform timers. This patch allows more timer options to
support optimal configuration for both Moorestown and Medfield.

i.e. per CPU always-on lapic timers for Medfield
per CPU APB timers for Moorestown

+/**
+ * the clockevent devices on Moorestown/Medfield can be APBT or LAPIC clock,
+ * cmdline option x86_mrst_timer can be used to override the configuration
+ * to prefer one or the other.
+ * at runtime, there are basically three timer configurations:
+ * 1. per cpu apbt clock only
+ * 2. per cpu always-on lapic clocks only, this is Penwell/Medfield only
+ * 3. per cpu lapic clock (C3STOP) and one apbt clock, with broadcast.
+ *
+ * by default (without cmdline option), platform code first detects cpu type
+ * to see if we are on lincroft or penwell, then set up both lapic or apbt
+ * clocks accordingly.
+ * i.e. by default, medfield uses configuration #2, moorestown uses #1.
+ * config #3 is supported but not recommended on medfield.
+ *
+ * rating and feature summary:
+ * lapic (with C3STOP) --------- 100
+ * apbt (always-on) ------------ 110
+ * lapic (always-on,ARAT) ------ 150
