According to my memory there was some PIC init we need but I don't
recall the details. However, booting the system with "legacy_pic =
&null_legacy_pic;" in x86_ce4100_early_setup() gives me this:

[ 0.001000] Enabling APIC mode: Flat. Using 2 I/O APICs
[ 0.001000] leaving PIC mode, enabling APIC mode.
[ 0.001000] enabled ExtINT on CPU#0
[ 0.001000] ENABLING IO-APIC IRQs
[ 0.001000] Setting 1 in the phys_id_present_map
[ 0.001000] ...changing IO-APIC physical APIC ID to 1 ... ok.
[ 0.001000] Setting 2 in the phys_id_present_map
[ 0.001000] ...changing IO-APIC physical APIC ID to 2 ... ok.
[ 0.001000] smpboot: CPU0: Intel(R) Atom(TM) CPU CE4150 @ 1.20GHz
(fam: 06, model: 1c, stepping: 0a)
[ 0.001000] Using local APIC timer interrupts.
[ 0.001000] calibrating APIC timer ...

and we stand still. With the assignment as it is now:

[ 0.001000] Enabling APIC mode: Flat. Using 2 I/O APICs
[ 0.001000] leaving PIC mode, enabling APIC mode.
[ 0.001000] enabled ExtINT on CPU#0

[ 0.026000] ..... mult: 26843202
[ 0.026000] ..... calibration result: 99998
[ 0.026000] ..... CPU clock speed is 1199.0984 MHz.

[ 0.026000] ... verify APIC timer
[ 0.128565] ... jiffies delta = 100
[ 0.129004] ... jiffies result ok

and it goes on. As you see, "..TIMER:" is missing in the upper output.
