    This patch fixes a problem with the TSC failing on via686a/KX133
    motherboards either reverting to using the pit or deadlocking the machine
    alltogether under heavy load.  (Specifically Abit KA7/KA7-100).
    
    Message from the log:
    Dec 18 18:20:37 grinder kernel: Losing too many ticks!
    Dec 18 18:20:37 grinder kernel: TSC cannot be used as a timesource. (Are
    you running with SpeedStep?)
    Dec 18 18:20:37 grinder kernel: Falling back to a sane timesource.
    
    The snippet of code that was missing from timer_tsc.c comes from
    timer_pit.c.
