The pit has 3 channels, it should be a channel field.
Also every time the pit frequency changes the above field should be
compensated with * (new_freq/old_freq).
For example, if the guest was running with 1000hz clock and the
pit_irq_coalesced value is 100 currently, a frequency change to 100hz
should reduce pit_irq_coalesced to 10.
Except that, its high time we stop drifting :)
