[PATCH] x86-64/i386: Use common X86_PM_TIMER option and make it EMBEDDED

This makes x86-64 use the common X86_PM_TIMER Kconfig entry in drivers/acpi

And since PM timer is needed for correct timing on a lot of systems
now (e.g. AMD dual cores) and we often get bug reports from people
who forgot to set it make it depend on CONFIG_EMBEDDED. x86-64 had
this change before and it's a good thing.

I also fixed the description slightly to make this more clear.

Support the ACPI PM timer for time keeping. This is slow,
but is useful on some chipsets without HPET on systems with more
than one CPU. On a single processor or single socket multi core
system it is normally not required.
When the PM timer is active 64bit vsyscalls are disabled
and should not be enabled (/proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64 should
not be changed).
The kernel selects the PM timer only as a last resort, so it is
useful to enable just in case.

So, if you see messages like 'Losing too many ticks!' in the

does not yet have an HPET, you should say "Y" here.
You should nearly always say Y here because many modern
systems require this timer.
