+ * What this actually means is architecture and machine model
+ * specific: on PC, for instance, it means that the LAPIC,
+ * IOAPIC and PIT are all in kernel. This function should never
+ * be used from generic target-independent code: use one of the
+ * following functions or some other specific check instead.
