Disable timer routing over 8254 when an ATI chipset is detected
(autodetect is only implemented for ACPI, but these are new systems
and should be using ACPI anyway.) Adds boot options for manually
disabling and enabling this feature. Also adds a note to the timer
error message caused by this change explaining that this error
is expected on ATI chipsets.

umm, why did you write this patch? Presumably it's fixing something, but
what?
