As the fundamental mechanism for broadcast is architecture-specific, this ties each clock_event_device driver to a single architecture, even where the driver is otherwise generic. This patch adds a standard path for the receipt of timer broadcasts, so drivers and/or architecture backends need not manage redundant lists of timers for the purpose of routing broadcast timer ticks.
