    x86: I/O APIC: AEOI timer acknowledgement clean-ups · d11d5794
    Maciej W. Rozycki authored
    The code that used to be in do_slow_gettimeoffset() that relied on the
    IRR bit of the master 8259A PIC for IRQ0 to check the state of the output
    timer 0 of the PIT is no longer there.  As a result, there is no need to
    use the POLL command to acknowledge the timer interrupt in the "8259A
    Virtual Wire", except for the NMI watchdog when the i82489DX APIC is used
    (this is because this particular APIC treats NMIs as level-triggered and
    keeping the input asserted would keep motherboard NMI sources held off for
    too long).  Remove the unneeded bits and adjust comments accordingly.
