I manage to get this series applied on top of my local dev branch, based
on next-20130328 (it was painful). Testing indicates that there is no
dependency on Joseph's patch mentioned above; I could boot, log in, and
play audio (with local patches) with /or/ without Joseph's patch applied.

However, I still find that I need to revert f7db706 ARM: "7674/1: smp:
Avoid dummy clockevent being preferred over real hardware clock-event",
or I get a hard system hang right after the root fs is mounted. As such,
I not sure if it's worthwhile applying this series since it's unlikely
to actually work once merged into Torvalds' tree.

Do you have any idea what the problem is here?

I'll try rebasing my local test branch on top of the latest linux-next
just in case some other fix solved this already, but I'm not going to
hold my breath.
