Subject: [PATCH 3.16 139/305] clockevents/drivers/i8253: Add support for
 PIT shutdown quirk

3.16.63-rc1 review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let me know.

------------------

From: Michael Kelley <mikelley@...rosoft.com>

commit 35b69a420bfb56b7b74cb635ea903db05e357bec upstream.

Add support for platforms where pit_shutdown() doesn't work because of a
quirk in the PIT emulation. On these platforms setting the counter register
to zero causes the PIT to start running again, negating the shutdown.

Provide a global variable that controls whether the counter register is
zero'ed, which platform specific code can override.
