Ingo Molnar f9690982b8 [PATCH] i386: improve sched_clock() on i686
Clean up sched_clock() on i686: it will use the TSC if available and falls
back to jiffies only if the user asked for it to be disabled via notsc or
the CPU calibration code didnt figure out the right cpu_khz.

This generally makes the scheduler timestamps more finegrained, on all
hardware.  (the current scheduler is pretty resistant against asynchronous
sched_clock() values on different CPUs, it will allow at most up to a jiffy
of jitter.)

Also simplify sched_clock()'s check for TSC availability: propagate the
desire and ability to use the TSC into the tsc_disable flag, previously
this flag only indicated whether the notsc option was passed.  This makes
the rare low-res sched_clock() codepath a single branch off a read-mostly
flag.
