ChangeSet@1.585, 2002-05-22 13:34:07+02:00, vojtech@twilight.ucw.cz
  This removes all stuff related to DISK_RECOVERY_TIME. It seems to have been a hack to make
  some really broken hardware work - but broken beyond repair as well. It was reading the PIT
  timer without proper locking (hence interfering with system time), it was reading it regardless
  of the architecture (will work on PCs and similar only), etc, etc. Goodbye DISK_RECOVERY_TIME.
