    x86/time: change initiation of the calibration timer
    
    Setting the timer a second (EPOCH) into the future at a random point
    during boot (prior to bringing up APs and prior to launching Dom0) does
    not yield predictable results: The timer may expire while we're still
    bringing up APs (too early) or when Dom0 already boots (too late).
    Instead invoke the timer handler function explicitly at a predictable
    point in time, once we've established the rendezvous function to use
    (and hence also once all APs are online). This will, through the raising
    and handling of TIMER_SOFTIRQ, then also have the effect of arming the
    timer.
