we've been using was actually just spinning due to ARM having redefined
the old 'wait for interrupt' operation via the system coprocessor as a nop
and replacing it with a WFI instruction.
code can supply a better implementation. A SoC with variable CPU frequency
is likely to use a fixed-frequency timer for DELAY() (but still use the
mpcore private timers as eventtimers).
Also remove spaces from the eventtimer and timecounter names.

implementation in arm/machdep.c. Most arm platforms either don't need to
do anything, or just need to call the standard eventtimer init routines.
A generic implementation that does that is now provided via weak linkage.
Any platform that needs to do something different can provide a its own
implementation to override the generic one.
- Don't use spaces or dots in the eventtimer or timecounter names.
They turn into sysctl node names, and it's just confusing.
- Use comparator #3 instead of #1 for one-shot events. There's an
extra 1-cycle penalty in the hardware for accessing the registers
for comparator 1, no point in paying that penalty.
- Lower the quality of the eventtimer from 1000 to 800, because the
device can't support PERCPU timers and some other device in the system
may be able to provide that.

is no iSER support in ctld and/or kernel; should the user make that mistake,
the output from "iscsictl -L" is enough to determine what the problem is.
