Subject: [PATCH]: i386: make x86_64 tsc header require i386 rather than vice-versa

Prior to commit 95492e4646e5de8b43d9a7908d6177fb737b61f0  ([PATCH] x86:
rewrite SMP TSC sync code), the headers in asm-i386 did not really
require anything in include/asm-x86_64.  This means that distributions
such as fedora did not include asm-x86_64 in kernel-devel headers for
i386.  Ingo's commit changed that, and broke things.  This is easy
enough to hack around in package builds by just including asm-x86_64 on
i386, but that's kind of annoying.  If anything, x86_64 should depend
upon i386, not the other way around.

This patch changes it so that asm-x86_64/tsc.h includes asm-i386/tsc.h,
rather than vice-versa.
