The PIT may not be limited to x86 platforms. So I would propose to make the setup more generic and flexible. And I would move the code out of arch/x86, just the speaker support should remain there. I'm currently struggling with emulating a proprietary platform that has (among other specialties...) a different PIT base frequency, and I already had to patch user space qemu for customizable frequencies. Maybe this kernel extension is a good chance to generalize the PIT setup, and I would be happy to contribute to this if there is a consensus.
