CONFIG_GEODE_MFGPT_TIMER: 
 This driver provides a clock event source based on the MFGPT timer(s)
 in the CS5535 and CS5536 companion chip for the geode. MFGPTs have a
 better resolution and max interval than the  generic PIT, and are
 suitable for use as high-res timers.

I guess it's save to disable this in the kernel and I hope it works afterwards.
