Actually it was a problem with another chip - integrated 8254
timer on intel SIO bridge. It was triggered on lx164 and reportedly
on pc164 by the new clock calibration code. I've seen that myself on
lx164 two or three times before my vacation, but can't reproduce
it since then... Anyway, better sanity check should fix that.
Also:
- 8254 naming changed to PIT (programmable interval timer) for
consistency;
- reference to HZ removed for better accuracy;
- few unrelated compile and warning fixes for 2.4.10-pre9.
