I'm not a clocksource or irqchip expert, and far from an ACPI expert, but this series overall looks good to me now.
I guess we'll need to wait until the patches are in the clocksource and irqchip trees, and then merge that into the kvmarm tree, and apply patch 7 and 8 on top, or is there a simpler way to do this?
