Add a way to disable the timer IRQ routing check via a boot option. The VMI timer code uses this to avoid triggering the pester Mingo code, which probes for some very unusual and broken motherboard routings. It fires 100% of the time when using a paravirtual delay mechanism instead of using a realtime delay, since there is no elapsed real time, and the 4 timer IRQs have not yet been delivered. In addition, it is entirely possible, though improbable, that this bug could surface on real hardware which picks a particularly bad time to enter SMM mode, causing a long latency during one of the timer IRQs. While here, make check_timer be __init.
