Subject: PATCH:  (v2) Allow user to force 'tsc' to be treated as stable.

Allow user to force TSC to be treated as a stable clock-source.
On some systems, with ACPI disabled in the BIOS, the
kernel determines that the TSC is unstable, when it fact
it appears to be fine.  This patch allows one to force
the kernel to treat the tsc as stable.

This is against 2.6.29-rc3.
