- Use the topology information of number of packages for making the
decision about TSC trust instead of using the number of online nodes
which is not reflecting the real topology.
- Stop the PIT timer 0 when its not in use as to stop pointless emulation
in the VMM.
- Fix the PIT timer stop sequence for timer 0 so it truly stops both real
hardware and buggy VMM emulations.
