pit_shutdown() doesn't work on Hyper-V because of a quirk in the PIT emulation. This problem exists in all versions of Hyper-V and had not been noticed previously. When the counter register is set to zero, the emulated PIT continues to interrupt @18.2 HZ.
Account for this quirk by adding a global variable in the i8253 code that controls whether the counter register is zero'ed. Then in Hyper-V initialization code, override the default setting so the counter register is not zero'ed.
Changes in v2: * Instead of a function call to check if running on Hyper-V, use a global variable to control whether the counter register is zero'ed. [Juergen Gross & Thomas Gleixner]
