cs5535: add a generic clock event MFGPT driver
This is based on the old code in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, but is
modular and not Geode-specific. There's no reason why the clock event
device needs to be registered so early at boot; the clockevent code is
perfectly capable of dynamic switching.
[akpm@linux-foundation.org: add linux/irq.h include]
