sttus of the Altix mmtimer driver

[Christoph Hellwig]

Hi folks,

what's the status of the SGI support for the IA64 SN2-specific
altic mmtimer (drivers/char/mmtimer.c)?  It's the only driver that
register a k_lock outside the core kernel, so if we could get rid of
it because the remaining IA64 user are all on somewhat old distros
anyway it would make our life a whole lot easier.
