Probably fine in many cases (where the PIT is no longer used anyway),
just a bit unintuitive for users.

I wonder why KVM moved port 0x61 handling into kernel space at all. By
leaving it in pcspk hands and extending the latter to sync with the
in-kernel PIT on sample generation, this speaker regression (of
kvm-userspace) should have been avoidable.
