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

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.
