NAK.

This is buggy because it won't scale to the full 64-bit value which
sched_clock() requires.  Please use the sched_clock() support I have
provided which ensures that a 32-bit counter is properly extended to
a full 64-bit value for sched_clock() - see arch/arm/kernel/sched_clock.c
and arch/arm/include/asm/sched_clock.h.
