[PATCH] x86: Add acpi_user_timer_override option for Asus boards

Timer overrides are normally disabled on Nvidia board because
they are commonly wrong, except on new ones with HPET support.
Unfortunately there are quite some Asus boards around that
don't have HPET, but need a timer override.

We don't know yet how to handle this transparently,
but at least add a command line option to force the timer override
and let them boot.
