[IA64] remove time interpolator

Remove time_interpolator code (This is generic code, but
only user was ia64.  It has been superseded by the
CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME code).

-Time Interpolators
-------------------
-
-Time interpolators are a base of time calculation between timer ticks and
-allow an accurate determination of time down to the accuracy of the time
-source in nanoseconds.
-
-The architecture specific code typically provides gettimeofday and
-settimeofday under Linux. The time interpolator provides both if an arch
-defines CONFIG_TIME_INTERPOLATION. The arch still must set up timer tick
-operations and call the necessary functions to advance the clock.
-
-With the time interpolator a standardized interface exists for time
-interpolation between ticks. The provided logic is highly scalable
-and has been tested in SMP situations of up to 512 CPUs.
-
-If CONFIG_TIME_INTERPOLATION is defined then the architecture specific code
-(or the device drivers - like HPET) may register time interpolators.
-These are typically defined in the following way:
-
-static struct time_interpolator my_interpolator {
-	.frequency = MY_FREQUENCY,
-	.source = TIME_SOURCE_MMIO32,
-	.shift = 8,		/* scaling for higher accuracy */
-	.drift = -1,		/* Unknown drift */
-	.jitter = 0		/* time source is stable */
-};
-
-void time_init(void)
-{
-	....
-	/* Initialization of the timer *.
-	my_interpolator.address = &my_timer;
-	register_time_interpolator(&my_interpolator);
-	....
-}
-
-For more details see include/linux/timex.h and kernel/timer.c.
