[patch 4/5] obsolete config in kernel source: USE_INTERNAL_TIMER

[patch 4/5] obsolete config in kernel source: USE_INTERNAL_TIMER

[akpm]

From: Christoph Egger <siccegge@stud.informatik.uni-erlangen.de>

CONFIG_USE_INTERNAL_TIMER seems to be the remainings of some experiment. 
It is explicitely #undef-ed as not working, only referenced from one
source file and rather aged.

Hereby cleaning it from the kernel tree.
