Below is the 2nd patch.

Add apic timer calibration hook.

From: Alok N Kataria <akataria@...are.com>

Add a new function ptr calibrate_apic_clock to x86_init_timers structure.
On native this does the usual apic calibration. On VMware's platform we
override it with a routine which gets that information from the hypervisor.
