Subject: PATCH: Remove 8254 timer texts from Documentation


Commit ecd29476ae0143b1c3641edfa76c0fc3e9ad3021 removed the
"disable_8254_timer" and "enable_8254_timer" kernel parameters from
the kernel but did not remove the references to them from two
files in the Documentation directory: kernel-parameters.txt and
x86/x86_64/boot-options.txt.

This change completes the removal.

Thanks for spotting this -- I didn't expect these were actually
documented. ;)
