Power throttling make deterministic delay loops impossible.
Re-implement delays using the cycle counter. This also allows us to
get rid of the code that calculates loops per jiffy.

When building with a gcc-4.4.x toolchain that is configured to produce
32-bits executables by default, we will produce __lshrti3 in sched_clock()
which is never resolved so the kernel fails to link. Unconditionally use
the inline assembly version as suggested by David Daney, which works around
the issue.

With typical mult and shift values, the calculation for Octeon's sched_clock
overflows when using 64-bit arithmetic. Use 128-bit calculations instead.

With the advent of function graph tracing on MIPS, Octeon needs a high
precision sched_clock() implementation. Without it, most timing
numbers are reported as 0.000.
This new sched_clock just uses the 64-bit cycle counter appropriately
scaled.

This patch modifies parameter of octeon_cvmcount_read() from 'void' to
'struct clocksource *cs', which fixes compile warning for incompatible
parameter type.
