[PATCH -tip] x86: apic LVTT - use APIC_DIVISOR on 64bit mode

[PATCH -tip] x86: apic LVTT - use APIC_DIVISOR on 64bit mode

[Cyrill Gorcunov]

We use APIC_TDR_DIV_16 while setting APIC_TDCR (divisor)
it happened this moment is hidden from __setup_APIC_LVTT
caller. So we better increment caller 'clocks' value to
not change current behaviour and use APIC_DIVISOR
(as already done in 32bit version).

The main benefit - unified procedure code for 32/64bit modes.

Please review carefully. Any comments are welcome.
I'm _not_ 100% sure if this patch is safe.

hm, how about the other caller to __setup_APIC_LVTT(), 
lapic_timer_setup():

        case CLOCK_EVT_MODE_ONESHOT:
                __setup_APIC_LVTT(calibration_result,
                                  mode != CLOCK_EVT_MODE_PERIODIC, 1);
                break;

that will affect high-res timers. Wont calibration_result have the same 
value after your patch as well, but only a 16th of it will be used in 
__setup_APIC_LVTT(), causing 16 times shorter timeouts than intended?

I.e. are we fixing a bug, are we changing nothing, or are we introducing 
a bug? :-)

well, the last I would say :). That happened I sent first version of
patch instead of modified second version. Thanks a lot Ingo for catching
it! Oh my, sorry... Here is an updated version.

We use APIC_TDR_DIV_16 while setting APIC_TDCR (divisor).
It happened this moment is hidden from __setup_APIC_LVTT
caller. So we better increment caller 'clocks' value to
not change current behaviour and use APIC_DIVISOR
(as already done in 32bit version).

The main benefit - unified procedure code for 32/64bit modes.

i think we are introducing a bug :)

note how close it is to 2^32. For this to be unifiable later on this 
needs to be UL i guess, and this:

> -	calibration_result = result / HZ;
> +	calibration_result = result * APIC_DIVISOR / HZ;

might overflow 32 bits.

hmm... I need more time for analisys, thanks. Drop this patch
please
