    Subject[PATCH 3/5] hrtimer: Store cpu-number in 'struct hrtimer_cpu_base'
    Date
    From: Viresh Kumar <viresh.kumar@linaro.org>

    In lowres mode, hrtimers are serviced by the tick instead of a clock
    event. Now it works well as long as the tick stays periodic but we
    must also make sure that the hrtimers are serviced in dynticks mode.

    Part of that job consist in kicking a dynticks hrtimer target in order
    to make it reconsider the next tick to schedule to correctly handle the
    hrtimer's expiring time. And that part isn't handled by the hrtimers
    subsystem.

    To prepare for fixing this, we need __hrtimer_start_range_ns() to be
    able to resolve the CPU target associated to a hrtimer's object
    'cpu_base' so that the kick can be centralized there.

    So lets store it in the 'struct hrtimer_cpu_base' to resolve the CPU
    without overhead. It is set once at CPU's online notification.
