The APIC timer setup code synchronizes the local APIC timer to the
PIT/HPET. This is pointless as the PIT and the local APIC timer
frequency are not correlated and the APIC timer calibration can never
be accurate enough to avoid that the local APIC timer and the PIT/HPET
drift apart.

Simply remove it.
