Subject: [patch] make pit clocksource continuous

Hello.

Without the attached patch, I wasn't able
to get the PIT to work as a clocksource for
high-res timers.
I don't know whether the patch is correct,
but I tested it and it works.
Can someone please tell me what exactly
does this flag mean? google reveals nothing
sensible to me, sorry...

---
Set CLOCK_SOURCE_IS_CONTINUOUS flag for the PIT clocksource
