x86, ioapic, acpi: add a knob to disable IRQ 0 through I/O APIC
As discovered recently some systems exhibit problems when the 8254 timer
IRQ is routed through the I/O APIC. These problems do not affect the
timer IRQ itself and therefore cannot be detected when the correctness of
operation of the interrupt is verified in check_timer(). Therefore the
I/O APIC path of the timer IRQ has to be disabled entirely.
This is a change that lets platforms ask for the timer IRQ not to be
registered in the I/O APIC interrupt tables. The local APIC and ExtINTA
paths are unaffected. This request is only taken into account for ACPI
platforms as MP table systems seem unaffected so far.
