Kill nographic timer. Have a global gui_timer instead. Have the gui

runtime, we don't need to care about the timer then as it runs anyway.
Linking mmio flushes to the gui is completely bogus. The fact that we're
doing arbitrary periodic mmio flushes suggests something else is horribly
broken.

Patch description makes sense to me. Of course we could have a separate
timer for the mmio flushes instead of re-using the gui timer. But we
would have more wakeups then ...
