Without some kind of fix, it doesn't function at all.  We can load the
PIT once, but then we need to make sure ARE is set because if the PIT
ticks down to zero it just sits there.

If we want to do that, then fine but it should be common between 40x
and 44x.  I didn't see much of a reason to differ from what's there
today.
