Subject: [v2 PATCH 3/4] timers: sysfs hook to enable timer migration

* Arun R Bharadwaj <arun@...ux.vnet.ibm.com> [2009-03-04 17:42:49]:

This patch creates the necessary sysfs interface for timer migration.

The interface is located at
/sys/devices/system/cpu/enable_timer_migration

This enables timer migration.

        echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/enable_timer_migration

similarly,

	echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/enable_timer_migration

disables timer migration.
