As I already pointed out in another thread hacking some KVM ACPI stuff,
this is the wrong approach.

We should have a *common* accessor in the timer code that exports the
relevant information, whatever the firmware "du jour" is.

See Julien's series, which seems to address the issue in a much more
convincing way:
