To be clear, I'm fine with

1. Add the old style clocks to Lager
2. Add the new style clocks to BockW
3. Add the new style clocks to Lager
4. Modify the ADG driver to use the new style clocks
5. Remove the old style clocks from BockW
6. Remove the old style clocks from Lager

if that can help getting sound support for Lager merge earlier. If 1 can't get 
merged before 2-4, I then believe we should instead go straight for the new 
style clocks for Lager.
