Regarding clocksource for OMAP, I refer to [1]. This is 
based on the patch from Kevin and you. Updated by me (acked 
by Kevin [2]) and then more improvements by David.

I'm not talking about (OMAP) clocksource here. I'm talking 
about the rest [3], especially OMAP clockevent patch.

While we are talking on this list, I think we have to split 
the patches in your patchset:

- OMAP clocksource is currently discussed on this list. I 
think it will be merged here when it is clear how it should 
look like.

- OMAP clockevent is potentially something for this list as 
well. But currently, it isn't discussed here and I can't 
find it discussed or included anywhere else. So it looks to 
me that it is lost (until anybody cares again). This is the 
core of my question: Is it currently nowhere maintained?

- The other patches, e.g. for ixp4xx and versatile, I think 
nobody will care on this list and update them here. So until 
they are not handled somewhere else (are they?), they will 
be lost as well.

You originally sent most of the patches to Thomas, don't you? ;)
