Note, on x86_64 for 4.12.9 a new kernel option,
HARDLOCKUP_CHECK_TIMESTAMP was added which defaults to enabled. It enables
a low pass filter to compensate for perf based hard lockup detection.
Added this option to the x86_64 4.12.x kernel confog file.

This is a recommended security measure to protect the low portion
of virtual memory. On x86_64 the recommended value is 65536 while
for arm it shouldn't be higher than 32768.

The resulting kernel boots fine on qemu and on Cavium Thunder,
though the latter still has some issues.
