Subject: [PATCH] geode-mfgpt: check IRQ before using MFGPT as clocksource

Adds a simple IRQ autodetection to the AMD Geode MFGPT driver, and more
importantly, adds some checks, if IRQs can actually be received on the
chosen line.  This fixes cases where MFGPT is selected as clocksource
though not producing any ticks, so the kernel simply starves during
boot.

Hi Jordan,

extended (and hopefully clarified) the comment. (However, kept the
expression Siamese twin, because I happen to like it.  :-)

Do you think this might qualify as patch for the stable series?? After
all, it fixes a hang ... though only on some boards and one can work
around it with a cmdline param ...

Regards,
Jens
