17586b1af8 Default the machdep.lapic_allclocks to be enabled in order to cope with
broken atrtc.
Now if you want more correct stats on profhz and stathz it may be
disabled by setting to 0.

306c0c6ea0 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.

3258030144 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.
