2008-01-22x86: GEODE fix a race condition in the MFGPT timer tickJordan Crouse1-7/+8
When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll immediately assert an event. If for some reason the IRQ routing for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse. This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get an event, it will go to the handler. Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the event, even if the timer isn't running.

2007-10-12x86: Geode MFGPT clock event device supportAndres Salomon1-0/+165
Add support for an MFGPT clock event device; this allows us to use MFGPTs as the basis for high-resolution timers.

2007-10-12x86: Geode Multi-Function General Purpose Timers supportAndres Salomon1-0/+197
This adds support for Multi-Function General Purpose Timers. It detects the available timers during southbridge init, and provides an API for allocating and setting the timers. They're higher resolution than the standard PIT, so the MFGPTs come in handy for quite a few things. Note that we never clobber the timers that the BIOS might have opted to use; we just check for unused timers.
