Zachary Amsden 7507ba34e8 [PATCH] vmi: timer fixes round two
Critical bugfixes for the VMI-Timer code.

1) Do not setup a one shot alarm if we are keeping the periodic alarm
   armed.  Additionally, since the periodic alarm can be run at a lower rate
   than HZ, let's fixup the guard to the no-idle-hz mode appropriately.  This
   fixes the bug where the no-idle-hz mode might have a higher interrupt rate
   than the non-idle case.

2) The interrupt handler can no longer adjust xtime due to nested lock
   acquisition.  Drop this.  We don't need to check for wallclock time at
   every tick, it can be done in userspace instead.

3) Add a bypass to disable noidle operation.  This is useful as a last
   minute workaround, or testing measure.

4) The code to skip the IO_APIC timer testing (no_timer_check) should be
   conditional on IO_APIC, not SMP, since UP kernels can have this configured
   in as well.
