The PIT has no dedicated mode for shut down. The only way to disable PIT is to put it into one shot mode. AMD implementations of PIT on Geode (also observed on Cyrix) are confused by an "empty" transition from CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED to CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN, which puts the PIT into one shot mode momentarily. I realized after staring helpless at the bug report http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=8027 for quite a while, that the only change, which might influence the bogomips calibration, is the above transition during the PIT initialization. Avoiding the unnecessary switch to oneshot and later to periodic mode fixes the weird bogomips value and also the resulting slowness. The fix is confirmed on OLPC and another Geode based box.
