Subject: [PATCH 1/2] acpi_pm.c: use proper read function also in errata mode.

On all hardware (some Intel ICH4, PIIX4 and PIIX4E chipsets) affected by a
hardware errata there's about a 4.2% chance that initialization of the ACPI
PMTMR fails. On those chipsets, we need to read out the timer value at least
three times to get a correct result, for every once in a while (i.e. within
a 3 ns window every 69.8 ns) the read returns a bogus result. During normal
operation we work around this issue, but during initialization reading a
bogus value may lead to -EINVAL even though the hardware is usable.

Thanks to Andreas Mohr for spotting this issue.
