x86: fix C1E && nx6325 stability problem

The problems are that, with the ACPI vs timer overring issue _fixed_,
after using the box for some time (between several seconds and 1 hour, at
random) processes get very high CPU loads (once I've got X using 107% of
the CPU, for example) and the system becomes unresponsive, as though there
were interrupts lost or something similar.

Andreas Herrman reproduced similar problems:

So lets fall back to the IRQ0/INT0 configuration on this box.

This basically restores the dont-use-the-lapic-timer exception mechanism
that was unconditional on this box prior commit 8750bf5 ("x86: add C1E
aware idle function").
