667984d9e4 x86: GEODE fix a race condition in the MFGPT timer tick
When we set the MFGPT timer tick, there is a chance that we'll
immediately assert an event.  If for some reason the IRQ routing
for this clock has been setup for some other purpose, then we
could end up firing an interrupt into the SMM handler or worse.

This rearranges the timer tick init function to initalize the handler
before we set up the MFGPT clock to make sure that even if we get
an event, it will go to the handler.

Furthermore, in the handler we need to make sure that we clear the
event, even if the timer isn't running.

8f36881b3c x86: Geode MFGPT clock event device support
Add support for an MFGPT clock event device; this allows us to use MFGPTs as
the basis for high-resolution timers.

83d7384f8d x86: Geode Multi-Function General Purpose Timers support
This adds support for Multi-Function General Purpose Timers.  It detects the
available timers during southbridge init, and provides an API for allocating
and setting the timers.  They're higher resolution than the standard PIT, so
the MFGPTs come in handy for quite a few things.

Note that we never clobber the timers that the BIOS might have opted to use;
we just check for unused timers.
