Not a good idea, since there isn't a timer that will trigger FIQs (unless
the BBC I/O board allows you to wire up the 6522 IRQ line to PFIQ, but I
don't think it does).  In any case, we don't yet have a proper FIQ sharing
mechanism, though I'll have to implement one once I get round to floppy
support on arm26.

The right thing to do (on IOMD systems, at least)  is to use IOMD timer 1
as the statclock, like arm26 does.  See cpu_initclocks() and
ioc_irq_statclock() in sys/arch/arm26/iobus/ioc.c for an example.  There's
a similar scheme in sys/arch/sparc/sparc/clock.c.
