Russell King 89c0b8e252 clocksource: add common i8253 PIT clocksource
This is based upon both arch/arm/mach-footbridge/isa-timer.c and
arch/x86/kernel/i8253.c.

* before latching the timer count to guarantee that although

* the counter may underflow between the last point where
* jiffies was incremented and the point where we latch the

* 2. Hardware problem with the timer, not giving us continuous time,
* the counter does small "jumps" upwards on some Pentium systems,
* (see c't 95/10 page 335 for Neptun bug.)

* Previous attempts to handle these cases intelligently were
