Thanks for your comments. I'll rework the patch and resubmit.

I've just noticed that I have a bigger problem. read_sched_clock() returns
u32, not u64. This means that in a rate of, say, 100MHz it will wrap around
after a little more than 40 seconds. Would it make sense to put ARM's 32 bin
sched_clock extension code (arch/arm/kernel/sched_clock.c) is a common place
(maybe drivers/clocksource), and use that? There seems to be nothing ARM
specific in this code, after all.
