So, using handle_nested_irq() is actually quite impractical because it
has to be called from a threaded irq handler. So we either need to use
IRQF_ONESHOT which is not possible because the IRQ is shared
with the PIT (unless we take Thomas' IRQF_COND_ONESHOT patch).

I think we may as well stay simple and remove the whole irq handling and
only do polling on the status register. As the series is done right now,
this only has an impact during the clocks prepare(). As in that case it
would not be sleeping anymore, we can also transform those prepare() in
enable().
