Subject: [PATCH 3/8] x86/apic: allow use of lapic timer early calibration result

From: Jacob Pan <jacob.jun.pan@...el.com>

lapic timer calibration can be combined with tsc in platform specific
calibration functions. if such calibration result is obtained early,
we can skip the redundent calibration loops.
