New Revision: 219679
URL: http://svn.freebsd.org/changeset/base/219679

Log:
  Partially revert r219672.  After r198295, kernel need to seed randomness as
  soon as possible for stack protector.  However, dummy timecounter does not
  have enough entropy and we don't need to sacrifice Pentium class and later.
