john stultz 539eb11e6e [PATCH] Time: i386 Conversion - part 2: Rework TSC Support
As part of the i386 conversion to the generic timekeeping infrastructure, this
introduces a new tsc.c file.  The code in this file replaces the TSC
initialization, management and access code currently in timer_tsc.c (which
will be removed) that we want to preserve.

The code also introduces the following functionality:

o tsc_khz: like cpu_khz but stores the TSC frequency on systems that do not
  change TSC frequency w/ CPU frequency

o check/mark_tsc_unstable: accessor/modifier flag for TSC timekeeping
  usability

o minor cleanups to calibration math.

This patch also includes a one line __cpuinitdata fix from Zwane Mwaikambo.

* Standard way to access the cycle counter on i586+ CPUs.
* Currently only used on SMP.
*
* If you really have a SMP machine with i486 chips or older,
* compile for that, and this will just always return zero.
* That's ok, it just means that the nicer scheduling heuristics
* won't work for you.
*
* We only use the low 32 bits, and we'd simply better make sure
* that we reschedule before that wraps. Scheduling at least every
* four billion cycles just basically sounds like a good idea,
* regardless of how fast the machine is.
