Well, I thought the customized cp0 clockevent codes (custom .set_next_event routine is needed anyway, isn't it?)
I don't think so.
hpt-cp0.c clock event part doesn't care if the counter is cleared when an interrupt is triggered.
Well, in the generic case it must read back the Count reg. before writing to the Compare reg. and for PNX8550 this is unnecessary -- but indeed, should not harm...
Well, I was thinking the counter stops at 0 after being clearesd by the match when writing this, which is not the case. So, ignore this sentese.
