Hi Mark, you're right. In Hyper-V generation-2 Linux VM, the ACPI timer is used
to calibrate TSC.

With "set machdep.disable_tsc_calibration=1", the bootup can go further but the
VM still hangs later -- I guess this may be a bad side effect of disabling TSC
calibration and I guess the TSC has to be calibrated here, e.g., by the ACPI
timer?
