PATCH 1/1 abit nf7-s timer workaround new entry

Without this patch, dmi_scan.c does not apply a workaround for my motherboard + bios version, and my timer is XT-PIC instead of IO-APIC-edge. My bios is more recent than the other entry in the table for my motherboard.

Patch against 2.6.9-rc2-bk8. The patch will need to be massaged as I was unsure whether the motherboard id fields were supposed to be unique.

ie from:
CPU0

  0:    2212265          XT-PIC  timer
  1:       2677    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
  8:          2    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
  9:          0   IO-APIC-level  acpi

to:
CPU0

  0:     157481    IO-APIC-edge  timer
  1:        285    IO-APIC-edge  i8042
  8:          3    IO-APIC-edge  rtc
  9:          0   IO-APIC-level  acpi
