In description and code it's "check", but here it's "works". Likely
just a typo. But I'd prefer if we didn't introduce any new "no*"
options which then can be negated to "no-no*". Make it "timer-check"
(also avoiding the underscore, no matter that Linux uses it), or
alternatively make it a truly positive option, e.g. "timer-irq-works".

I also think it wants emphasizing that if this option is used and then
something doesn't work, people are on their own.
