Add support for event timers whose clock frequency can change while running.
Apparently all ARM configs build kern_et.c, but only a few of them also
build kern_clocksource.c, un-break the build by not referencing functions in
kern_clocksource if NO_EVENTTIMERS is defined.
Add variable-frequency support to the arm mpcore eventtimer driver.
mpcore_timer: Disable the timer and clear any pending bit, then setup the
new counter register values, then restart the timer. Also re-nest the parens
properly for casting the result of converting time and frequency to a count.
