Subject: [RESEND] [PATCH] Convert alpha to use arch_gettimeoffset()

This patch converts alpha to use GENERIC_TIME via the arch_getoffset()
infrastructure, reducing the amount of arch specific code we need to
maintain.

I suspect the alpha arch could even be further improved to provide and
rpcc() based clocksource, but not having the hardware, I don't feel
comfortable attempting the more complicated conversion (but I'd be glad
to help if anyone else is interested).

This patch applies on top of Linus' current -git tree (2.6.31-rc3).

I've taken my best swing at converting this, but I'm not 100% confident
I got it right. My cross-compiler is now too old, so I couldn't check if
it builds. So any assistance from arch maintainers or testers to get
this merged would be great.

thanks
-john

It breaks the build:

}

I converted the CONFIG_SMP=y case into a plain old `return 0;'. Which
means that we could turn the CONFIG_SMP=y case into a static inline,
really.
