In looking closer at this patch, I have a few questions.

The creation of macros is causing some readability concern, at least for
me...
In creating the macro versions of some of the functions, the macro
version actually has different behavior which makes reading the code a
little confusing.
I just noticed that the macro version of _load_start() doesn't actually
do the "start", so you added the OMAP_TIMER_CTRL_ST when calling it.
To do this, the macro version takes a 'ctrl' argument where as the
"real" version only takes the autoreload argument.
If you're going to keep the same function name (but just add the __
prefix, I would expect that the functionality of the function doesn't
change.
If the functionality of the macro is different from the "real" function,
it should probably just be given a different name. In this case,
probably dropping the _start suffix is probably enough.

Hmm, you're using the driver function here not the macro. Is that
intended?
Why not use the macro version here with OMAP_TIMER_CTRL_AR |
OMAP_TIMER_CTRL_ST.
