Ok, as far as stable goes, this patch wouldn't apply cleanly going all the way back to 0d651e4e65e9 As-is, it would need to go after 220069945b29 "clocksource: arch_timer: Add support for memory mapped timers" and there would need to be another, simpler, version that went between those two commits.
So, I'm not sure what to do in this situation regarding stable?
