Hi folks, what's the status of the SGI support for the IA64 SN2-specific altic mmtimer (drivers/char/mmtimer.c)? It's the only driver that register a k_lock outside the core kernel, so if we could get rid of it because the remaining IA64 user are all on somewhat old distros anyway it would make our life a whole lot easier.

Since this is SN2 specific, this can be removed.
