I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV 
Geode processors don't have an incrementor.  I attached two patches. 
One only calls the incrementor setup for GX1 or better.  The other one 
removes the incrementor setup entirely.  As the incrementor value 
differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS 
configures it correctly, it is probably the better one to choose.  But I 
will leave that choice up to you.  Either one works for me. :-)
