2.6.32-longterm review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Shaohua Li <[email protected]>

commit 39fe05e58c5e448601ce46e6b03900d5bf31c4b0 upstream.

If CPU support always running local APIC timer, per-cpu hpet
timer could be disabled, which is useless and wasteful in such
case. Let's leave the timers to others.

The effect is that we reserve less timers.
