Hi Gilles,

I just realized that there is now a 8253 clocksource in core-3.4+. How
does this work together with Xenomai's TSC emulation via the 8254 in the
x86 hal_32? Xenomai reprograms the PIT in rthal_setup_8254_tsc - is this
harmless?

I came across this while trying to get rid of Xenomai's "depends on
!INPUT_PCSPKR" to avoid that circular Kbuild dependency.
