In linux kernel since version 2.6.33 (release Date: 2010-02-24)
This driver provides access to MFGPT functionality for other
drivers that need timers. MFGPTs are available in the CS5535 and
CS5536 companion chips that are found in AMD Geode and several
other platforms. They have a better resolution and max interval
than the generic PIT, and are suitable for use as high-res timers.
You probably don't want to enable this manually; other drivers that
make use of it should enable it.
