        case CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN:
                if (evt->mode == CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED)
                        break;
        case CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED:

This one should be fallthrough case during exchange (mode == PERIODIC)

Yes, seems PERIODIC->SHUTDOWN should do the right thing.


        case CLOCK_EVT_MODE_ONESHOT:
                /* One shot setup */
                outb_p(0x38, PIT_MODE);

So switching from PIT to VMI does not disable PIT timer interrupts. Thus I have to keep this part of the patch.

Since I misread the code, I can drop this now.



Oh, I was looking at this (x86_64 work I have here):

	case CLOCK_EVT_MODE_SHUTDOWN:
	case CLOCK_EVT_MODE_UNUSED:
		outb_p(0x30, PIT_MODE);
		outb_p(0, PIT_CH0);	/* LSB */
		outb_p(0, PIT_CH0);	/* MSB */
		break;

That's mode 0, not mode 5, but I think the end result is the same.

Yes, mode 0, 4, 5 all should behave similarly.
