-	  Enable support for local timers on SMP platforms, rather then the
-	  legacy IPI broadcast method.  Local timers allows the system
-	  accounting to be spread across the timer interval, preventing a
-	  "thundering herd" at every timer tick.

 # The GPIO number here must be sorted by descending number. In case of
