    I'll sum it up:  I'm fixing the kernel so it doesn't have to use the
    8254 timer 1 or timer 2, which has caused all sorts of havoc with VESA
    and other things.  If the system supports a 32 bit hardware ACPI timer,
    we're gonna start using that instead.  Eventually we'll possibly even
    use the LAPIC timer for the same purpose, which is even more reliable
    then the ACPI timer.
