boot - Fix timecount issues with some BIOSes(haven't completely bisected, might be the previous commit)
booting freezes some time after
Initialize MI interrupts
For example on an Intel Atom:
Initialize MI interrupts
objcache: magazine cap [13, 141]
Finish MP startup
Active CPU Mask: 00000003
On a Asrock Z77M (Intel i3):
Initialize MI interrupts
objcache: magazine cap [13, 141]
Finish MP startup
Active CPU Mask: 0000000f
TSC testing MP synchronization
TSC is MP synchronized, after 57322 tries
On the other hand, the problem does not manifest on a true single processor i386 Pentium 4 machine.

DragonFly i386 3.9-DEVELOPMENT now boots successfully on an Asus M5A87 multicore machine and a Asrock Z77M Intel i3 multicore machine and an Lenovo S10 Ideapad netbook with an Intel Atom with hyperthreading, as well as retaining the previously successful booting on a single processor Pentium 4 machine and in a virtual machine in VMWare Fusion 6.
