  Log:
  MFC v1.114: On MP machines use a negative quality value for the timers
  in the CPUs so they will not be chosen as the main timecounter.  Because
  we don't even try to keep the timers in the CPUs synchronized using them
  can result in time not monotonically increasing at the whims of which CPU
  the timer is checked on.  On non-MP machines use a relatively high value
  so the CPUs timer is more likely to be chosen as the main timecounter.
