if you set it to 3 then the chipset gets to decide where the irq goes.
Many decide to send it to the first cpu.
(not that it matters, the timer is so low frequency that it can go
anywhere without problems)

thanks Arjan.
Yet something is not clear to me.
To the best of my knowledge , each cpu run its own schedule routine.
So, if only cpu0 gets timer0 interrupts, how does cpu1
gets to run the schedule function ?
what interrupts cpu1' current task ?
