-stable review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know. --------------------- From: Thomas Gleixner upstream commit: 9ccc906c97e34fd91dc6aaf5b69b52d824386910 tsc_enabled is set to 0 from the command line switch "notsc" and from the mark_tsc_unstable code. Seperate those functionalities and replace tsc_enable with tsc_disable. This makes also the native_sched_clock() decision when to use TSC understandable. Preparatory patch to solve the sched_clock() issue on 32 bit.
