[PATCHv2 09/14] Bring in the time reference for the x86 platforms

This code uses the always (hopefully) existing PIT device to get the time
reference for barebox.

+ * reload value than 0xFFFF. So, it always counts from 0xffff down to 0.

+ * @note: We can't reprogram the PIT, it will be still used by the BIOS. This
