That calls for updated patch 2/3 (That was a typo on my original patch :()

Both switch_ipi_to_APIC_timer and switch_APIC_timer_to_ipi are called in
acpi/processor_idle.c in this patch.

--

Whenever we see that a CPU is capable of C3 (during ACPI cstate init), we
disable local APIC timer and switch to using a broadcast from external timer
interrupt (IRQ 0).

Patch below adds the code for i386 and also the ACPI hunk.
