This reverts commit 13a229abc25640813f1480c0478dfc6bdbc1c19e.

Quoth Andi:
  "After some consideration and feedback from various people it turns
   out this wasn't that good an idea.  It has some problems and needs
   more work.  Since it was only an optimization anyways it's best to
   just back it out again for now."

Big Unisys systems have multiple clusters too, but they have an
synchronized TSC.

I'm using the SMBIOS to check for vendor == IBM.

[description from AK]

The IBM Summit 3 chipset doesn't implement the HPET timer replacement
option.  Since the current Linux code relies on it use a mixed mode with
both PIT for the interrupt and HPET counters for the time keeping.  That
was already implemented, but didn't work properly because it was still
using the last interrupt offset in HPET.  This resulted in x460 not
booting.  Fix this up by using the free running HPET counter.

Shouldn't affect any other machine because they either use full HPET mode
or no HPET at all.

TBD needs a similar 32bit fix.

It's bad juju to touch the APIC when it hasn't been enabled.
I also moved ack_bad_irq for x86-64 out of line following i386.

<title>[PATCH] x86_64: Calibrate APIC timer using PM timer</title>

<id>0c3749c41f5eee0da36bbf92b2793338b4d8574f</id>
<content type='text'>
On some broken motherboards (at least one NForce3 based AMD64 laptop)
the PIT timer runs at a incorrect frequency.  This patch adds a new
option "apicpmtimer" that allows to use the APIC timer and calibrate it
using the PMTimer.  It requires the earlier patch that allows to run the
main timer from the APIC.

Specifying apicpmtimer implies apicmaintimer.

The option defaults to off for now.

I tested it on a few systems and the resulting APIC timer frequencies
were usually a bit off, but always &lt;1%, which should be tolerable.

TBD figure out heuristic to enable this automatically on the affected
systems TBD perhaps do it on all NForce3s or using DMI?

<content type='text'>
Another piece from the no-idle-tick patch.

This can be enabled with the "apicmaintimer" option.

This is mainly useful when the PIT/HPET interrupt is unreliable.
Note there are some systems that are known to stop the APIC
timer in C3. For those it will never work, but this case
should be automatically detected.

It also only works with PM timer right now. When HPET is used
the way the main timer handler computes the delay doesn't work.

It should be a bit more efficient because there is one less
regular interrupt to process on the boot processor.

Requires earlier bugfix from Venkatesh
