The problem is that in the x86_32 patch, nobody calls
ipipe_update_hostrt. The following patch should get it working. Though
may not be the cleanest way to do it.
And except for the "if (clock == clocksource_tsc)", is probably the way
we could get it working for other architectures.
I am not sure it really works, since the clocktest output seemed to have
much more jitter than on x86_64, though the jitter decreased over time.
