hw lapic: find best frequency dynamically 

Some x86 machines do have a LAPIC speed < 1000 ticks per millisecond
when configured to use the maximum divider (as it was always the case).
But we need microseconds precision for the timeout framework. Thus,
reduce the divider dynamically until the frequency fullfills our
requirements.

Ref #2400
