I believe that you are looking for calibrate_tsc() in 
cpu\x86\tsc\delay_tsc.c. That only sets up channel2. No reason you 
couldn't make changes in your mainboard but I'm not sure the setting 
will stick. I would expect the linux kernel reprogram the PIT (maybe not 
if it is using ACPI timer or HPET)?
