commit 531b2ca0a9 upstream.
According to the data sheet, writing the MODE register should stop the
counter (and thus the interrupts). This appears to work on real hardware,
at least modern Intel and AMD systems. It should also work on Hyper-V.
However, on some buggy virtual machines the mode change doesn't have any
effect until the counter is subsequently loaded (or perhaps when the IRQ
next fires).
So, set MODE 0 and then load the counter, to ensure that those buggy VMs
do the right thing and the interrupts stop. And then write MODE 0 *again*
to stop the counter on compliant implementations too.
Apparently, Hyper-V keeps firing the IRQ *repeatedly* even in mode zero
when it should only happen once, but the second MODE write stops that too.
