clocksource: apb: Share APB timer code with other platforms
The APB timers are an IP block from Synopsys (DesignWare APB timers)
and are also found in other systems including ARM SoC's. This patch
adds functions for creating clock_event_devices and clocksources from
APB timers but does not do the resource allocation. This is handled
in a higher layer to allow the timers to be created from multiple
methods such as platform_devices.

Move the CS5535 MFGPT hrtimer kconfig option to be with the other MFGPT
options. This makes it easier to find and also removes it from the main
"Device Drivers" menu, where it should not have been.

This is based on the old code in arch/x86/kernel/mfgpt_32.c, but is
modular and not Geode-specific. There's no reason why the clock event
device needs to be registered so early at boot; the clockevent code is
perfectly capable of dynamic switching.
