As soon as any drivers starts using the dynamic clock registration API
introduced by these patches, other architectures will be sort of forced
to care about it...

I consider switching to clklib on avr32 regardless of this...though I
haven't really started that work yet.

But if Russell want to merge this initial dump through the ARM tree, I'm
perfectly fine with that, even if this library is intended to be
architecture-neutral.
