OMAP2/3 system tick GPTIMER: use overflow interrupts to detect missing match interrupts

From: Paul Walmsley <paul@pwsan.com>

GPTIMER1 on some OMAP3 chips occasionally misses match conditions
between the timer counter and the target register value, and does not
interrupt to the MPU.  This patch adds another line of defense by
setting the timer to generate an overflow interrupt 0.5 seconds after the
timer passes the original comparison value.

If interrupts are masked for a long period of time, one would expect
both a match and an overflow interrupt to be logged.  This is considered
a normal condition.  However, if only an overflow interrupt is logged,
this is considered evidence of a hardware bug and the kernel will issue
a warning.

This workaround is unlikely to be 100% effective, since GPTIMER1 has
also been observed to lose overflow interrupts occasionally.  It is
hoped that the probability of losing both will be significantly lower
than the probability of losing either one.
