Subject: [PATCH 1/8] ARM: smp: Lower rating of dummy broadcast device

In the near future the dummy broadcast device will always be
registered with the clockevent core. If the rating of the dummy
is higher than the rating of the real clockevent the clockevents
core will try to replace the real clockevent with the dummy
broadcast. We don't want this to happen, so lower the rating to
something no good clockevent should choose.
