+ help
+ Support the ACPI PM timer for time keeping. This is slow,
+ but is useful on some chipsets without HPET on systems with more
+ than one CPU. On a single processor or single socket multi core
+ system it is normally not required.
+ When the PM timer is active 64bit vsyscalls are disabled
+ and should not be enabled (/proc/sys/kernel/vsyscall64 should
+ not be changed).
+ The kernel selects the PM timer only as a last resort, so it is
+ useful to enable just in case.
