Yep, but the 0x56 and 0x12 should be #defines (or have comments), too.

Nope, please drop that this time. There's no new code, just shuffling of
existing code in this patch.

Please let's keep this here _and_ in 8254_pit.h, it's useful in both
files, IMO.

The PC_SPEAKER_PORT belongs in this file, I think. It's not PIT related,
but speaker related.

Hm, maybe we should make this include/arch/x86/legacy.h and stick other
#defines in there, too. We should avoid too many small almost-empty
files and there will be other "legacy" devices which need #defines.

See above, drop this please.

Otherwise patch is ok.
