"Moorestown APB system timer driver" suffered from severe whitespace
damage in arch/x86/kernel/apb_timer.c due to using Microsoft Lookout
to send a patch. Fix the whitespace breakage.

The current APB timer code incorrectly registers a static copy of the
clockevent device for the boot CPU. The per cpu clockevent should be
used instead.
This bug was hidden by zero-initialized data; as such it did not get
exposed in testing, but was discovered by code review.

Moorestown platform does not have PIT or HPET platform timers. Instead it
has a bank of eight APB timers. The number of available timers to the os
is exposed via SFI mtmr tables. All APB timer interrupts are routed via
ioapic rtes and delivered as MSI.
Currently, we use timer 0 and 1 for per cpu clockevent devices, timer 2
for clocksource.
