[PATCH] Mark TSC on GeodeLX reliable
The Geode can safely use the TSC for highres, since: 1) Does not support frequency scaling, 2) The TSC _does_ count when the CPU is halted. Furthermore, the Geode supports a mode called "suspension on halt", where Suspend mode (which interacts with the power management states) is entered. TSC counting during suspend mode is controlled by bit 8 of the Bus Controller Configuration Register #0 (thanks Tom!). 3) no SMP :) Check if "RTSC counts during suspension" and remove the requirement for verification, so the clocksource code can safely select it as an timesource for the highres timers subsystem.
