Subject: [PATCH 2/2] x86, apic: Add apic timer calibration hook

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 and local apic timer
initialization. On VMware's platform we override it with a routine which
gets that information from the hypervisor and initializes the local apic
timer accordingly.
