x86-32: AMD c1e force timer broadcast late

This patch is not needed in 2.6.27 because it has new c1e-aware idle code.

In kernel 2.6.26 the 32-bit x86 timers are started earlier than before.
This breaks AMD c1e detection trying to force timer broadcast for the
local apic timer. Copy the code from the 64-bit kernel to force timer
broadcast late.
