Add a check to the PM-Timer initialization code.  It validates the PM-Timer
rate against PIT channel 2 and rejects the PM-Timer if its rate is not
withing 5% of the expected number.

Rationale:

The PMTMR timers of certain (older) mainboards are running at invalid
rates, often much faster than the rate expected by the PM-Timer code.  This
causes the system clock to run much too fast.  See also
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2375

Possible workarounds are disabling the PM-Timer in the kernel config or
disabling the PM-Timer at boot time through the "clock=tsc" parameter.
However, we believe it is more user friendly to automatically validate the
PM-Timer rate at boot time before using it as the system time source.

Tested by me (with broken timer) and John Stultz (with good timer) and
believed to be ok.
