Subject: x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable
X-Git-Tag: v2.6.26-rc4~11^2~6
X-Git-Url: https://openfabrics.org/gitweb/?a=commitdiff_plain;h=9ccc906c97e34fd91dc6aaf5b69b52d824386910;p=~shefty%2Frdma-dev.git

x86: distangle user disabled TSC from unstable

tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from
the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace
tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock()
decision when to use TSC understandable.

Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.
