Change subject: soc/intel/common: drop default to enable the PIT if SeaBIOS is chosen
......................................................................
Patch Set 1:
Well. Sure that actually works?
The pmtimer is used in case seabios runs on qemu and initializes the (virtual) acpi pci device.
I doubt this also happens when running as coreboot payload.
The TSC needs calibration, and seabios uses the PIT for that I think. Except when running virtualized on KVM, in that case (new enough) seabios can use kvmclock to figure the TSC
frequency.
