[PATCH -mm] [Time] Re-add verify_pmtmr_rate

[john stultz]

Andrew,
	This should go for a round or two in -mm but should be good for
inclusion into 2.6.20.

This patch re-adds the verify_pmtmr_rate functionality from 2.6.17 that
I dropped 2.6.18.

This resolves problems seen on older K6 ASUS boards where the ACPI PM
timer runs too fast.

See: 
https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=211902
http://bugme.osdl.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2375

Thanks to Ian Campbell for re-reporting this and testing the fix!
