Ok. So I guess I missed that time.c isn't built if GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS
isn't enabled, so ARCH_HAS_GETTIMEOFFSET needs to depend on !
GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.

Hopefully I've got it cleared up now. Let me know if I'm still causing
trouble.

This patch converts blackfin to use GENERIC_TIME via the
arch_getoffset() infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific
code we need to maintain.

This patch applies on top of Linus' current -git tree (2.6.31-rc3).

I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident
I got it right. My cross-compiler is now out of date (gcc4.2) so I
wasn't able to  check if it compiled. Any assistance from arch
maintainers or testers to get this merged would be great.
