x86, apbt: Moorestown APB system timer driver
Moorestown platform does not have PIT or HPET platform timers. Instead it
has a bank of eight APB timers. The number of available timers to the os
is exposed via SFI mtmr tables. All APB timer interrupts are routed via
ioapic rtes and delivered as MSI.
Currently, we use timer 0 and 1 for per cpu clockevent devices, timer 2
for clocksource.
