The "architecture independent" common event timer infrastructure has the
defects of being very poorly documented and (in my opinion) messier than
it needs to be.  But it has the virtue of making it straightforward to
get tickless operation via CONFIG_NO_HZ, which improves both throughput
and power consumption on most MIPS platforms.  If you've got it working
on your platform, keep it!
