SOCs often have multiple timers that behave the exact way, where
the only difference is the base address of the register bank. In
these cases, it would be nice to have a single function shared
across timers instead of one per timer. For this to work properly,
all clock_event function pointers need to take a priv pointer with
timer-specific context information.

Note: Not compile tested yet...just want to make sure this OK with
folks before I start implementing support on my ARM boards. X86 just
ignores the priv pointer.
