The switch depends on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. Just turn that on in "General Setup"

       [*] Configure standard kernel features (for small systems)  --->

Then you get an extra switch in:

 "Powermanagement Options"
 	ACPI (Advanced Configuration and Power Interface) Support  ---> 
		[*]   Power Management Timer Support 

Turn that one off.
