Subject: [PATCH v2 1/2] i8253: Add support for PIT shutdown quirk
Date: Sun, 4 Nov 2018 03:48:54 +0000	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <1541303219-11142-2-git-send-email-mikelley@microsoft.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1541303219-11142-1-git-send-email-mikelley@microsoft.com>

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.
