This scares me:

+#define fail_message \
+"High-res-timers:
>-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<\n"\
+"High-res-timers: >Failed to find the ACPI pm timer
<\n"\
+"High-res-timers: >-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<-->Boot will fail in
Calibrate Delay  <\n"\
+"High-res-timers: >Supply a valid default pm timer address
<\n"\
+"High-res-timers: >or get your BIOS to turn on ACPI support.
<\n"\
+"High-res-timers: >See CONFIGURE help for more information.
<\n"\
+"High-res-timers:
>-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<--><-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<-->-<\n"

Does that mean our boot has now so much junk in it that we start
adding ascii art for "important" messages?
