I think this happens because the R4030 clockevent device has a rather
high rating of 300 while the PIT because of an omission or intension
doesn't set it's rating at all so has rating of 0. So Linux prefers the
R4030. You can see which clockevent device is actually getting used
by Linux in /proc/timer_list.
