Sorry, <linux/timer.h> is not needed here, I have used it in the old
version with setup_timer()/mod_timer().

the tclk is not used, I have also used it in the old version with
setup_timer()/mod_timer(). so, we can remove it for this version.

And here should be setup_sched_clock(&clocksource_mips);
