:    8254: Don't setup 8254 interrupt, if it is not selected as interrupt cputimer
:    
:    8254 interrupt is setup, mainly to support C-state > C1, however, on some
:    systems it could cause system freezing during boot.  Change the default value
:    of hw.i8254.intr_disable to 1, so more systems could boot by default.

    Hmm.  Are we assuming that HPET or ACPI timers will always be available
    now?  Any kernel loaded without ACPI won't see the ACPI timer (I think),
    and maybe not the HPET either.  The implication is that ACPI must always
    be loaded now.

    Maybe the real question is... if no other timers are available will the
    8254 still be used to generate interrupts with this new default?
