This reverts commit 7190401fc56fb5f02ee3d04476778ab000bbaf32.

Verifying the clock source sometimes deems the MIPS clock
to be unstable, at least in qemu.

clocksource: timekeeping watchdog on CPU0: Marking clocksource 'MIPS' as unstable because the skew is too large:
clocksource:                       'jiffies' wd_nsec: 500000000 wd_now: ffff8bde wd_last: ffff8bac mask: ffffffff
clocksource:                       'MIPS' cs_nsec: 940634468 cs_now: 310181c4 cs_last: 28090a09 mask: ffffffff
clocksource:                       Clocksource 'MIPS' skewed 440634468 ns (440 ms) over watchdog 'jiffies' interval of 500000000 ns (500 ms)
clocksource:                       'MIPS' is current clocksource.

If this happens, network interfaces fail to come online.

This avoids warning:

[    0.118053] BUG: sleeping function called from invalid context at kernel/locking/mutex.c:283

Caused by get_c0_compare_int on secondary CPU.

We also skipped saving IRQ number to struct clock_event_device *cd as
it's never used by clockevent core, as per comments it's only meant
for "non CPU local devices".

Loongson64 C and G processors have EXTIMER feature which
is conflicting with CP0 counter.

Although the processor resets in EXTIMER disabled &amp; INTIMER
enabled mode, which is compatible with MIPS CP0 compare, firmware
may attempt to enable EXTIMER and interfere CP0 compare.

Set timer mode back to MIPS compatible mode to fix booting on
systems with such firmware before we have an actual driver for
EXTIMER.

When the CM block migrated from CM2.5 to CM3.0, the address offset for
the Global CSR Access Privilege register was modified. We saw this in
the "MIPS64 I6500 Multiprocessing System Programmer's Guide," it is
stated that "the Global CSR Access Privilege register is located at
offset 0x0120" in section 5.4. It is at least the same for I6400.

This fix allows to use the VP cores in SMP mode if the reset values
were modified by the bootloader.

Based on the work of Vladimir Kondratiev
&lt;vladimir.kondratiev@mobileye.com&gt; and the feedback from Jiaxun Yang
&lt;jiaxun.yang@flygoat.com&gt;.

Nowadays SYNC_R4K is performing better than Loongson64's
custom sync mechanism.

Switch to SYNC_R4K to improve performance and reduce code
duplication.
