Here's a possible fix. It compiles. And I still wish we had common files.

ia64 shouldn't be affected, because ia64 doesn't #define the 
ARCH_APICTIMER_STOPS_ON_C3 flag (and then we don't use the "c2_ok" thing 
either. But this is still pretty damn ugly.

Maybe a field in "struct acpi_processor" for C2/C3 problems?
