Huh.  Not sure what's going on there.

I'll add a dependency for that -- we definitely want the arch timer.  I
would have thought that the 2835 timer would still be able to make
things work, though.

We were doing some debugging of that recently.  It seems that every once
in a while we get woken up but nothing shows up in the top-level status
register.  We need to just make the irqchip ignore instead of trying to
look up a handler in that case, but I haven't prioritized it because it
makes me worry that I'm just papering over a problem in our IRQ masking
or something.

I haven't seen any problems other than the printk, though.
