Subject: [PATCH -mm] Log reason why TSC was marked unstable
This patch changes mark_tsc_unstable() so it takes a string argument,
which holds the reason the TSC was marked unstable.
This is then displayed the first time mark_tsc_unstable is called.
This should help us better debug why the TSC was marked unstable on
certain systems and allow us to make sure we're not being overly
paranoid when throwing out this troublesome clocksource.
thanks
