I think LOCAL_TIMERS is the one that useful if SMP is enabled. The zero
timer rate issue still able to limited by LOCAL_TIMERS.
MPCore watchdog is rely on HAVE_ARM_TWD, but not related to SMP
at least in the current source. I have test the watchdog part without enable
SMP and watchdog works well except wrong reload value that can be fixed
by another patch.
