This patch makes seabios use the acpi pmtimer instead of tsc for
timekeeping.  The pmtimer has a fixed frequency and doesn't need
calibration, thus it doesn't suffer from calibration errors due to a
loaded host machine.

It looks okay to me.  It'd be nice to have a CONFIG_PMTIMER for it,
but it can be added on top.
