<title>time: move PIT_TICK_RATE to linux/timex.h</title>

PIT_TICK_RATE is currently defined in four architectures, but in three
different places.  While linux/timex.h is not the perfect place for it, it
is still a reasonable replacement for those drivers that traditionally use
asm/timex.h to get CLOCK_TICK_RATE and expect it to be the PIT frequency.

Note that for Alpha, the actual value changed from 1193182UL to 1193180UL.
 This is unlikely to make a difference, and probably can only improve
accuracy.  There was a discussion on the correct value of CLOCK_TICK_RATE
a few years ago, after which every existing instance was getting changed
to 1193182.  According to the specification, it should be
1193181.818181...

Pass clocksource pointer to the read() callback for clocksources.  This
allows us to share the callback between multiple instances.

We are getting rid of subarchitecture support - move the hook files
to asm/. (These are now stale and should be replaced with more explicit
runtime mechanisms - but the transition is simpler this way.)

<title>clocksource, acpi_pm.c: put acpi_pm_read_slow() under CONFIG_PCI</title>

acpi_pm_read_slow() is only used when CONFIG_PCI=y, so move the definition
inside the ifdef.

Otherwise this causes a "defined but not used" warning when building with
CONFIG_ACPI=y and CONFIG_PCI=n (that's not supported yet, but it could
be).

Actually check the monotonicity of the ACPI PMTMR ten times, only delay for
0.9 miliseconds at most, and bail out early if some problem is determined.

The current check for monotonicity is way too weak: Andreas Mohr reports (
http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/8/10/77 ) that on one of his test systems the
current check only triggers in 50% of all cases, leading to catastrophic
timer behaviour.  To fix this issue, expand the check for monotonicity by
doing ten consecutive tests instead of one.

<title>clocksource, acpi_pm.c: use proper read function also in errata mode</title>

<id>dfdf748a61a21b7397b9f57c83de722de71dc56a</id>
<content type='text'>
On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the
ACPI PMTMR fails.  On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value
at least three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while
(i.e.  within a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus
result.  During normal operation we work around this issue, but during
initialization reading a bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the
hardware is usable.

Thanks to Andreas Mohr for spotting this issue.
