Tests by numerous people have shown that many chipsets do not properly

latch the acpi timer, resulting in weird deltas.  The problem is severe
enough to adversely effect the timecounter code.

Default to the 'safe' version of the get-timecount function.  The probe
will override it if a known-good chipset is found.  This is temporary
until a more complete solution is found.
