Well the very same bug is present in OMAP1 and OMAP2 timer code, so you'll
end fixing copied&paste code for no good reason.
At least cpu/arm925t/interrupts.c and cpu/arm926ejs/omap/timer.c deserves the
same fix [*] you sent for OMAP3 code. So what about merging that timer code
first and then fixing it?

[*] I have local fix for cpu/arm925t/interrupts.c, but since those copy&pasted
files started diverging just because each of us cares about different piece of
hardware, I do not want to make situation even worse.
