Linux 2.5.66-ac2

This is mostly a resync and check patch rather than something
exciting to run. It should work but it is not at all tested.
The SMP crash on boot should be fixed too

Alan,

It appears, at least to me, that you've got some duplicate 
code in timer_cyclone.c.  It seems that you should be 
replacing the current init cpu_khz with the new one in your 
patch (except your patch has the new one duplicated as 
well).  Just thought you should know....

Cheers,
Nicholas
