5de8477431 Improving the clocks auto-tunning by firstly checking if the atrtc may be
correctly initialized and just then assign to softclock/profclock.
Right now, some atrtc seems reporting strange diagnostic error* making the
current pattern bogus.

In order to do that cleanly, lapic_setup_clock(), on both ia32 and amd64,
now accepts as arguments the desired sources to handle, and returns the
actual ones (LAPIC_CLOCK_NONE is forbidden because otherwise there is no
meaning in calling such function).
This allows to bring out into commont x86 code the handling part for
machdep.lapic_allclocks tunable, which is retained.

1b75a98556 Introduce the new kernel sub-tree x86 which should contain all the code
shared and generalized between our current amd64, i386 and pc98.

This is just an initial step that should lead to a more complete effort.
For the moment, a very simple porting of cpufreq modules, BIOS calls and
the whole MD specific ISA bus part is added to the sub-tree but ideally
a lot of code might be added and more shared support should grow.
