Subject[patch] x86_64: warn if unable to configure apic main timer
When using the APIC main timer option on x86_64, sometimes it
fails to complete its setup. Warn about this and suggest
the user try 'disable_timer_pin_1' if their system clock runs
too fast. Also, make printing of the exact result of APIC
timer calibration require 'apic=verbose'.
