For a CPU to enter an idle state, some timer must be available to
trigger an IRQ and wake it back up. The local ARM architectural timer is
not sufficient, because that timer stops when the CPU is powered down.
The ARM architectural timer from some other CPU can be used, but doing
so prevents that other CPU from entering an idle state. For all CPUs to
power down at the same time, Linux needs a timer which is not tied to
any CPU.

Hook up the "sun4i" timer so it can be used for this purpose. It runs at
24 MHz, which balances resolution and power consumption.
