Subject: [PATCH V2 0/3] timers: Allocate per-cpu tvec_base's statically

Hi Ingo/Thomas,

This is V2 of the cleanups around timer-core initialization sent earlier.
These make initialization of tvec_base's simpler by statically allocating memory
for them, and removing the need of initializing them again on CPU hotplug.

V1->V2:
- Dropped 2/3 from earlier set, which moved definition of __tvec_bases within a
  function, as that caused wreckage on xtensa and tile.
- A new patch from Peter is added, 3/3.
- Few changes in 1/3 on Ingo's suggestions:
  - Add explanatory comment around boot_tvec_bases and __tvec_bases.
  - s/boot_done/boot_cpu_skipped

  timer: Allocate per-cpu tvec_base's statically
  timer: Further simplify SMP and HOTPLUG logic

Viresh Kumar (1):
  timer: Don't initialize tvec_base on hotplug
