So there are three timers without FSB interrupts support. They can use
only IRQ2 (not sure if this is a good practice) and can steal IRQ0 and
IRQ8 from i8254 and RTC, when "legacy route" enabled. So the only way to
use all three timers without level-triggered interrupts is to completely
and silently brake i8254 and RTC timers. I prefer not to do it now.
Please try such a patch, it should fix QEMU panic without using hints,
while HPET timers there won't be used until they implement either FSB
interrupts or shareable level-triggred IRQ above 15:
