Fixed arg order in an outb() call. add_timer_randomness() clobbered

part of the DMA channel 0 address and wasn't random in the intended
way.
Submitted by:	KATO Takenori <kato@eclogite.eps.nagoya-u.ac.jp>

Disable interrupts while reading the clock.  This probably isn't
important (allowing interrupts probably increased randomness in
the usual case).

Removed __i386__ ifdef.  This file is in an i386 directory and has
other i386 dependencies.
