Add support for platforms where pit_shutdown() doesn't work because
of a quirk in the PIT emulation. On these platforms setting the
counter register to zero causes the PIT to start running again,
negating the shutdown. Provide a global variable that controls
whether the counter register is zero'ed, which platform specific
code can override.
