kernel CVS is malfunctioning

[Andrea Arcangeli]

checkins.

cvsps -x for days showed this as the last checkin.

x86: move PIT code to timer_pit

Perhaps I'm the only user, I use it on a daily basis, it worked fine
until a few days ago.

Andrew posted it to me privately too, thanks. (it's not urgent, I just
wanted to be sure somebody was aware about it ;)
