[PATCH] remove spurious timer interrupts

["Martin J. Bligh" <Martin.Bligh@us.ibm.com>]

Since I turned on the IO-APICs on secondary quads in 2.4.19-pre2, we
are receiving timer interrupts on *all* quads, not just the first quad, each
from their local timer chip. This causes time to progress far too rapidly ;-)
The simple patch below turns off the timer interrupts for IO-APICs other
than interrupt 0, and has been tested to fix the problem. As it switches
on clustered_apic_mode, it should be safe from hurting anyone else.
Please apply ...

Thanks,

Martin
