The current selection of the GPTIMER on was result of
a hardware issue in early versions of the Beagleboards
(Ax and B1 thru B4). [1] [2]

Its been long since the hardware issue has been fixed.
This patch uses GPTIMER 1 for all newer board revisions
incl. Beagleboard XM.

  * The patch has been boot tested with Beagleboard-XM.
    Verified that GPTIMER1 is indeed being used.

  * Browsing through the code, it appears that similar
    change could be applied for these boards:
     - devkit8000
     - omap3stalker
     - omap3touchbook
    However, I don't have access to any of these;
    or information on their revisions.
    I can update this patch based on confirmations.
