x86: fix "kernel won't boot on a Cyrix MediaGXm (Geode)"
Cyrix MediaGXm/Cx5530 Unicorn Revision 1.19.3B has stopped
booting starting at v2.6.22.
The reason is this commit:

> x86: Replace NSC/Cyrix specific chipset access macros by inlined functions.
this commit activated a macro which was dormant before due to (buggy)
macro side-effects.
I've looked through various datasheets and found that the GXm and GXLV
Geode processors don't have an incrementor.
Remove the incrementor setup entirely. As the incrementor value
differs according to clock speed and we would hope that the BIOS
configures it correctly, it is probably the right solution.
