In hooking up the perf counter overflow interrupt to the experimental
deprecated-real-soon-now /proc/perf interface last night, I had to
revisit arch/mips/mips-boards/generic/time.c, and discovered that
when the 2.6.9-based SMTC prototype was merged with the more
recent tree, it was missed that arch/mips/kernel/time.c had changed
so that even in SMP kernels, timer_interrupt() calls
local_timer_interrupt(), so there is no longer a need to invoke it
directly from mips_timer_interrupt() in those cases where
timer_interrupt() has been called.  So I got rid of that, and added the
invocation of perf_irq() if Cause.PCI is set, more-or-less following the
same logic as in the non-SMTC case, with the modifications that (a) a
runtime check for Release 2 isn't done, because it's redundant in SMTC),
and (b) we check for a clock interrupt regardless of the value returned
by the perf counter service - I don't understand why we'd want to control
that with perf_irq(), but maybe one of you knows the story.  I also got
rid of the stupid warning about the unused variable when compiled for
SMTC (another artifact of the merge). The result hasn't been beaten to
death, but boots, seems stable, and supports extended precision event
counting.
