Since evt structure is embedded in per-CPU mevt structure it's
definitely faster to use container_of() to get access to mevt
if we have evt (for example as incoming function argument) instead
of more expensive approach with this_cpu_ptr(&percpu_mct_tick).
this_cpu_ptr() on per-CPU mevt structure leads to access to cp15
to get cpu id and arithmetic operations.
Container_of() is cheaper since it's just one asm instruction.
This should work if used evt pointer is correct and owned by
local mevt structure.

For example, before this patch set_state_shutdown() looks like:

 4a4:	e92d4010 	push	{r4, lr}
 4a8:	e3004000 	movw	r4, #0
 4ac:	ebfffffe 	bl	0 <debug_smp_processor_id>
 4b0:	e3003000 	movw	r3, #0
 4b4:	e3404000 	movt	r4, #0
 4b8:	e3403000 	movt	r3, #0
 4bc:	e7933100 	ldr	r3, [r3, r0, lsl #2]
 4c0:	e0844003 	add	r4, r4, r3
 4c4:	e59400c0 	ldr	r0, [r4, #192]	; 0xc0
 4c8:	ebffffd4 	bl	420 <exynos4_mct_tick_stop.isra.1>
 4cc:	e3a00000 	mov	r0, #0
 4d0:	e8bd8010 	pop	{r4, pc}

With this patch:

 4a4:	e92d4010 	push	{r4, lr}
 4a8:	e59000c0 	ldr	r0, [r0, #192]	; 0xc0
 4ac:	ebffffdb 	bl	420 <exynos4_mct_tick_stop.isra.1>
 4b0:	e3a00000 	mov	r0, #0
 4b4:	e8bd8010 	pop	{r4, pc}

Also, for me size of exynos_mct.o decreased from 84588 bytes
to 83956.

Looks good and sensible. Why you called this RFC? You are not sure if
this is correct?

One minor nit-pick below, but I am fine without it anyway:

Actually I would prefer leaving the empty line here and add such in
function below. For me the code is more readable with
ending return separated by one line.

Best regards,

Despite the RFC I applied the patch as it seems simple enough and it has 
been reviewed by Krzysztof.
