As noted for the Amiga CIA (which is pretty much a sibling to this
MOS 6522 VIA) this chip also has two counters and could use one
as clocksource and the other as clock event.

Again I bet this is just using one timer out of habit.

It will be an easy feat to make a clean clocksource+clock event
for this hardware as well once this refactoring is complete.
