Tom cdbd878a14 Kernel: Fix APIC timer calibration to be more accurate ...

We were calibrating it to 260 instead of 250 ticks per second (being
off by one for the 1/10th second calibration time), resulting in
ticks of only ~3.6 ms instead of ~4ms. This gets us closer to ~4ms,
but because the APIC isn't nearly as precise as e.g. HPET, it will
only be a best effort. Then, use the higher precision reference
timer to more accurately calculate how many ticks we actually get
each second.

Also the frequency calculation was off, causing a "Frequency too slow"
error with VMware.

Fixes some problems observed in #5539
