[PATCH] re-disable TSC on NUMAQ
Somewhere recently, the TSC got re-enabled for timekeeping on NUMAQ
machines. However, the hardware makes these get unsynchronized quite
badly. So badly, in fact, that the code to fix up the skew can just hang
on boot.
This patch re-disables them. It's nicely confined to the numaq.c file. It
would be great if this could make it into 2.6.13, I think it counts as a
bugfix.
Tested on a 16-proc 4-node NUMAQ.
