o Remove alpha specific timer code (mc146818A) and compiled-out
calibration of said timer.
o Remove i386 inherited timer code (i8253) and related acquire and
release functions.
o Move sysbeep() from clock.c to machdep.c and have it return
ENODEV. Console beeps should be implemented using ACPI or if no
such device is described, using the sound driver.
o Move the sysctls related to adjkerntz, disable_rtc_set and
wall_cmos_clock from machdep.c to clock.c, where the variables
are.
o Don't hardcode a hz value of 1024 in cpu_initclocks() and don't
bother faking a stathz that's 1/8 of that. Keep it simple: hz
defaults to HZ and stathz equals hz. This is also how it's done
for sparc64.
o Keep a per-CPU ITC counter (pc_clock) and adjustment (pc_clockadj)
to calculate ITC skew and corrections. On average, we adjust the
ITC match register once every ~1500 interrupts for a duration of
2 consequtive interruprs. This is to correct the non-deterministic
behaviour of the ITC interrupt (there's a delay between the match
and the raising of the interrupt).
o Add 4 debugging sysctls to monitor clock behaviour. Those are
debug.clock_adjust_edges, debug.clock_adjust_excess,
debug.clock_adjust_lost and debug.clock_adjust_ticks. The first
counts the individual adjustment cycles (when the skew first
crosses the threshold), the second counts the number of times the
adjustment was excessive (any non-zero value is to be considered
a bug), the third counts lost clock interrupts and the last counts
the number of interrupts for which we applied an adjustment
(debug.clock_adjust_ticks / debug.clock_adjust_edges gives the
avarage duration of an individual adjustment -- should be ~2).
While here, remove some nearby (trivial) left-overs from alpha and
other cleanups.
