There've been reports [1] about the sysem bell causing a hard
lockup. My machine was affected as well: any speaker output hung
the machine completely, nothing in the logs, no magic sysrq,
etc., looked like a hardware problem. Had a closer look on the
issue, and it turned out that the pcspkr module is responsible.
The cause is the bad setup of Timer 2 in the i8253 controller,
which probably hangs the whole PIT controller.
Intel datasheets [2] state that the timer registers are in an
undefined state after reset and they need to be programmed before
enabling the timer. (And enabling without programming the
frequency first doesn't make sense anyway).
I don't know which chipsets are affected (if not all), it also
depends on the BIOS whether it initializes the timer (e.g. to
beep when you start the machine).
The following patch solved the issue on my ICH6 notebook,
couldn't test it with any others, but should be safe to apply.

The Jazz machines have to use the PIT timer for dyntick and highresolution
kernels. This may break because currently just like i386 used to do MIPS
uses two separate spinlocks in the actual PIT code and the PC speaker
code. So switch to do it the same that x86 currently does PIT locking.

get rid of input BIT* duplicate defines
use newly global defined macros for input layer. Also remove includes of
input.h from non-input sources only for BIT macro definiton. Define the
macro temporarily in local manner, all those local definitons will be
removed further in this patchset (to not break bisecting).
BIT macro will be globally defined (1<<x)

Prefix platform modalias strings with "platform:", which
modprobe config to blacklist alias resolving if userspace
configures it.
Send uevents for all platform devices.
Add MODULE_ALIAS's to: pxa2xx_pcmcia, ds1742 and pcspkr to trigger
module autoloading by userspace.

The current pcspkr code combines the device and driver registration.
This patch splits these, putting the device registration in the arch
specific code.
PowerPC and MIPS only have the pcspkr present sometimes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.
Let it rip!
