Sorry I missed above question in last email. Am not too sure but any
arch which has CPU local timers, interrupt controller, Floating point
co-processor etc, should be able to make use of it. So it's applicable
to any architecture, but whether they want to use it, i don't know.

As you noticed most of the ARM machine's are adapting to it.
Along with generic patch, there are couple ARM drivers adapting
to make use of it. That was the reason I was pushing this series
via Russell's tree.

Santosh
