 commit 3e51f33fcc7f55e6df25d15b55ed10c8b4da84cd
 Author: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@...llo.nl>
 Date:   Sat May 3 18:29:28 2008 +0200
 
     sched: add optional support for CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
 
     this replaces the rq->clock stuff (and possibly cpu_clock()).
 
      - architectures that have an 'imperfect' hardware clock can set
        CONFIG_HAVE_UNSTABLE_SCHED_CLOCK
 
      - the 'jiffie' window might be superfulous when we update tick_gtod
        before the __update_sched_clock() call in sched_clock_tick()
 
      - cpu_clock() might be implemented as:
 
          sched_clock_cpu(smp_processor_id())
 
        if the accuracy proves good enough - how far can TSC drift in a
        single jiffie when considering the filtering and idle hooks?
