What's the point of this ? Oh wait, I see. Instead of fixing the
apic code to use some useful units for the calibration value, you
make those constants global and twiddle the (hopefully sane) return
value of your hypervirus call.

Interesting, That function is initializing the local apic? Hmm, the
code below makes me think it's about the local apic timer.

This is not calibrating the APIC, it's calibrating the APIC timer,
right ?
AFAICT, you also override the TSC calibration, right?
I wonder whether we could finally avoid the duplicate calibration
stuff and do the TSC and the lapic together and avoid the second
calibration loop.

calibration_result is not the best choice, but please split out this
cosmetic change into a separate patch. The patch probaly wants some
more splitup for sanity and bisectability reasons./

Sigh.

Crap. You're function override is about calibration and not about
initializing. Why are you calling that here. Either you override the
local apic timer setup completely or just the calibration routine.
