What would it look like? Right now I think we have clockevent0,1,2,3,
etc. for all the cpus and a broadcast0 device. The broadcast0 device is
present even if we don't actually have a broadcast device in the system
(i.e. it says <null> for its name).

Would we add unused_clockevent0,1,2? Maybe we should have clockevent
devices for each physical evtdev and then symlinks for clockevent0,1,2,3
and broadcast0 that point to the physical clockevent device?
