nForce3 (Compaq R3000) timer fix

[Jung-uk Kim]

This is (hopefully) the last patch of the series, which fixes infamous 
'8254 timer not connected to IO-APIC' problem for nForce2+.  Linux 
people had a hack here:

(Note: 2.6.10 has more refined version.)

The attached patch requires the previous 'skip_timer_override' hack 
posted here:

After the patch, you need to set 'hw.apic.skip_set_extint=1' from 
loader or loader.conf.  Be careful with spelling; this is 'apic', not 
'acpi' this time. ;-)

With verbose boot logging, we should see:

	ioapic0: intpin 0 -> ISA IRQ 0 (edge, high)

instead of:

	ioapic0: Routing external 8259A's -> intpin 0
	ioapic0: intpin 0 -> ExtINT (edge, high)

I was able to run this laptop overnight without 'device atpic'. ;-)  I 
think somebody (jhb and peter, I guess) should double check if this 
is okay.  I tried many combinations including 'options SMP' and all 
seemed to be fine so far.

Finally I can run this laptop at full speed (2 GHz) under heavy load 
with 'acpi_ppc' driver!
