Subject: [PATCH 4.14 021/110] parisc: Use cr16 interval timers unconditionally on qemu

4.14-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Helge Deller <deller@....de>

commit 5ffa8518851f1401817c15d2a7eecc0373c26ff9 upstream.

When running on qemu we know that the (emulated) cr16 cpu-internal
clocks are syncronized. So let's use them unconditionally on qemu.
