x86: fix "kernel won't boot on a Cyrix MediaGXm (Geode)"
Cyrix MediaGXm/Cx5530 Unicorn Revision 1.19.3B has stopped booting starting at v2.6.22. The reason is this commit: > commit f25f64ed5bd3c2932493681bdfdb483ea707da0a > Author: Juergen Beisert <juergen@kreuzholzen.de> > Date: Sun Jul 22 11:12:38 2007 +0200 > > x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions. this commit activated a macro which was dormant before due to (buggy) macro side-effects. I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV Geode processors don't have an incrementor. Remove the incrementor setup entirely. As the incrementor value differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS configures it correctly, it is probably the right solution.
