Subject: Fast TSC calibration failed error

Hello,

I noticed that the `arch/x86/kernel/tsc.c` has a pending patch to make 
this message:

```
Fast TSC calibration failed
```

into an Information Message instead of Error message.

This the original post: 
http://lkml.iu.edu//hypermail/linux/kernel/1209.3/00224.html

And here was the patch: https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/131 & 
https://lkml.org/lkml/2012/9/26/169

What's the status of this patch?

It would be nice for this to be accepted, since the Fast TSC calibration 
failed message clogs up all my logs for all my Linux virtual machines.

It ends up being a redundant message for centralised logging systems 
that always needs to be filtered out.

Thanks,
Roger
