I'd rather that we merged this instead:
local_apic.c:
----------------------------
revision 1.14
date: 2005/04/14 05:56:17;  author: jhb;  state: Exp;  lines: +0 -4
Always use the local APIC timer, even on UP machines.
----------------------------

This makes mixed mode and the entire problem set disappear.
