x86: VMware: Fix vmware_get_tsc code
Impact: Fix possible failure to calibrate the TSC on Vmware near 4 GHz The current version of the code to get the tsc frequency from the VMware hypervisor, will be broken on processor with frequency (4G-1) HZ, because on such processors eax will have UINT_MAX and that would be legitimate. We instead check that EBX did change to decide if we were able to read the frequency from the hypervisor. Signed-off-by: Alok N Kataria <akataria@vmware.com> Signed-off-by: H.
