This moves the clocksource_set_clock() and clockevent_set_clock()

it belongs. The patch was triggered by code posted by Mikael
Pettersson duplicating this code for the IOP ARM system. The
function signatures where altered slightly to fit into their
destination header files, unsigned int changed to u32 and inlined.

Ralf has stated in earlier conversation that this should be moved,
now we risk duplicating code so let's move it.

I don't have access to a MIPS cross-compiler so please can the
MIPS people test this?

I have tested this patch on an RM7000-based MIPS system.  The patch compiles fine, and the kernel successfully runs.  You can add my:
