Oh, I know about this bug. That's the first thing I checked. I found that it
is already fixed in my case. However, it is still unclear for me where the
correct MUXes for timer4 and timer3 are initialized, seems to be kind of
magic. I didn't checked TCFGs against the datasheet, going to do it now. I
also think about making the free-running timer selectable from config since
some machines may have something wired to timer3's PWM.

I forgot to say, it works with patched kernel if CONFIG_IPIPE=no. Timers are
the same in both cases. I don't quite understand, however, how the
non-working free-running timer may affect the system in that case.
Interrupts from timer4 are still generated, so the system may boot with
ipipe off even with broken free-running timer without any obvious problems,
am I right?

I'll give it a try tomorrow, thanks. A little question about this part of
the patch:
-       if (!__ipipe_mach_timerstolen)
+       if (!__ipipe_mach_timerstolen) {
+               spin_lock(&timer_lock);
                getticksoffset_tscupdate();
+               spin_unlock(&timer_lock);
+       }
Is it a bugfix (forgotten spinlock added) or is it due to change of
getticksoffset_tscupdate() contents? (Just trying to understand how it
works.)
